The children have been very excited and enthusiastic about our new History topic on the Stone Age. They have been developing their knowledge and understanding through our history lessons, relevant videos, and our class text, The Stone Age Boy. The children have enjoyed learning about life during this period and have been asking thoughtful questions to deepen their understanding.

In English, we have begun writing our own fact files after identifying the features of non-chronological reports. We have been learning about the use of paragraphs and when a new paragraph should begin. The children have started to organise their writing more effectively and are applying newly learnt vocabulary to make their work more informative and engaging.

In Maths, we have continued our unit on measurement. The children are learning to convert between different units of measure and solve related problems. To support this learning, it is important that children master their 10 times tables, as these multiplication and division facts are essential when working with conversions.

Homework

Spellings have been issued, reading and times table practice are a must, maths homework will follow on Monday due to printing issues.

Christmas Production

The children have been given a hard copy of their scripts to practise their lines and songs at home and at school. A copy has also been sent to all families via email. Please could you encourage your child to regularly practise both their lines and songs. Children must bring their scripts into school every day. Thank you for your support with this.

A few scripts were unfortunately put in the wrong order, and I am hoping to rectify this during the coming week.

Earth Trust Visit

This will be a non-school uniform day. Children should wear appropriate clothing and footwear, as we will be outside for the entire day and the weather may mean they get wet and a little muddy.

Thank you all for your continued support. Have a wonderful week ahead!
