Geography

This week, we launched our exciting new geography topic: Antarctica – Why would anyone live there?
The children have shown great enthusiasm and curiosity about this extreme continent. A big thank you to those children who researched Antarctica at home and shared brilliant facts along with their beautiful drawings. These have really enriched our learning.

English

In English, the children have written a setting description of Antarctica, using:

• adjectives

• adverbs

• similes

• metaphors

They worked hard to make their writing descriptive and engaging.
Next week, we will be writing a formal letter to a scientist working in Antarctica, asking thoughtful questions about life, research, and the research centre there.

Maths

In maths, we are continuing with Multiplication and Division – Unit B, focusing on building confidence and fluency.

Weather & Outdoor Clothing

All children must continue to come to school in full school uniform with correct footwear.
As the playground may have excess water, children are welcome to bring welly boots and outdoor wear to change into for playtimes.

Homework

Please continue to support your child with the following:

• Reading for pleasure – 10 minutes daily

• SPaG booklets

• Antarctica research

• Maths practice on Atom Learning

• Times tables on TTRS

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend and a great week ahead!
