READING:

This half term, Hargrave will continue delved into the magical adventure of Alice in Wonderland - a young girl named Alice follows a talking White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and into the fantastical world of Wonderland, encountering strange creatures and bizarre events before eventually waking up and returning to her sister's lap. The children have loved the story so far!

BOOK CLUBS:

Some children are also enjoying reading 'THE BOY WHO MET A WHALE', one from Mr Cartwright favourite book series. Exploring life in Sri Lanka and following a fantastic storyline: a Sri Lankan fisherboy, Razi, and his sister, Shifa, aid Zheng, a shipwrecked boy, in recovering lost treasure and the Dagger of Serendib, while evading villains Marco and Cook.

HISTORY:

This half-term we will continue to learn all about Tudor life. So far, the children have enjoyed learning about how the Tudors changed England, the history of the monarch, the unbelievable acts of Henry VIII and so much more!

Tudor England, spanning from 1485 to 1603, saw the reign of the House of Tudor, including monarchs like Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I, marked by significant religious, political, and cultural shifts.

SATS:

The children continue to work incredibly hard in our final push towards SATS preparation. Mr Cartwright is extremely proud of the progress they have made so far this year!

Extending our learning:

As part of our commitment to fostering a love of learning, we have set some clear homework expectations. Each week, Maths homework will be assigned on a Monday and is due back by Friday. We also encourage children to play Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) three times weekly to boost their skills. Daily reading, either independently or with a parent, is essential for developing literacy. Additionally, spellings will be sent home every Monday, with a test taking place on Friday. The more engaged your child is with home-learning, the greater progress they will make throughout the year. Your support is invaluable to their success!

On Tuesdays, all children partake in PE. Please ensure they wear the correct kit (plain white t-shirt, black shorts or joggers) and trainers. Don’t forget a water bottle!
