We will finish the year with our ‘Globe Trotters’ topic studying countries in South America.

The children will also learn about adverbials, prefix and suffix, relative clauses, verb agreements and model verbs. The texts we will be studying are 'Survivor', 'The Highwayman' and 'The Journey to the River Sea'.

Maths: We will be looking at decimals, percentages and fractions, properties of shape, volume, converting units and position and direction.

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.

Class Routines

PE will take place on a Tuesday PM (Outdoor PE) and Friday PM (Indoor PE). 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.
