Some of the texts we will be studying are; 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' and 'Kensuke's Kingdom'.

Maths: We will be looking at multiplication and division, length and perimeter, fractions and decimals.

For a more detailed overview, please see the curriculum overview at the bottom of this class page.

Homework

Alternating Maths and English homework will be sent home every week on a Monday and then marked the following Monday. Please remind your child to bring in their Homework book every Monday so new English or Maths sheets can be stuck in!

In addition to this set homework, each week your child should read aloud most days and their reading record books signed. They should also work on learning all their times tables up to 12x12.

Class Routines

PE will take place on a Tuesday PM and Friday PM. Children should come into school in their PE kit on these days. No earrings or watches are allowed. Children need to have a blue PE shirt, blue shorts and/or jogging bottoms, a warm jacket, trainers and socks.

For Spring Term 1 there will be no PE on Friday PM as this will be replaced by swimming on Thursday PM. Children should come to school in PE kit on swimming days and bring their swimming kit and towel in a bag.

Multiplication Tables Check (MTC)

Children will be sitting their Multiplication Tables Check at school in June 2025. Revision has already begun in school, and the children will have opportunities most days to sit the online test on a school iPad or PC or revise specific times tables. Support with times-tables at home will really help give your child the opportunity to do their very best in the test.

The following website is highly recommended for supporting your child and is the website they are currently using at school: https://www.timestables.co.uk/multiplication-tables-check/

As ever, if you require any further information, please come and chat to the class teacher after school or send an email via the school office secretary@st-michaels-school.org
