PE: Our PE day for all classes is Friday. PE kits need to be in school everyday and will be sent home on a Friday. Please ensure that children have the correct kit for indoor and outdoor sessions. We have some fantastic sessions planned for PE this year.
Spellings & Homework: Spellings and homework will be sent home on Google Classrooms every Friday. The children will then have a spelling quiz the following Friday. The spellings set for the week will also be taught in the classroom alongside practicing and consolidating them at home.
Spring Term: Our geography topic for this term is 'Keeping It Green'!
Throughout this topic, the children will be:
- Studying the effect of human geography and industry on natural resources.
- Learning about the distribution of natural resources, particularly fossil fuels and energy.
- Planning and recording sustainable and green ideas through geographic methods (graphs, maps, digital technologies).
- Understanding the natural biomes and habitats of different animal species.
- Exploring the human and physical geography of our local area, compared to that of a non-European country. Specifically, the effects of climate change.
You can help your child progress by:
- Encouraging your children to find out about life in Victorian England
- Visit the local library to borrow books.
- Provide an opportunity for your children to read as much as possible.
