Welcome to Term 5 in Willow Class.

Hello everybody, welcome back to Term 5! 

We hope you have all had a restful break and are looking forward to the term ahead. It is hard to believe we are already entering the summer term! Term 5 is set to be busy but with enjoyable learning opportunities for the children. In English, our work will be based around the book 'Alba the hundred year old fish' and includes letter writing, diary entries, transcripts and making information boards. In Maths, we continue with fractions  before moving on to decimals and money. Our Science focus for this term is still electricity and in Geography we find out how mountains are made. For the next two terms in RE we are learning about Hinduism and find out what it means to be a Hindu in Britain today. As a school, we will be taking part in the Wrotham Arts Festival in May, so please keep an eye on dojo for further information nearer the time.

We have PE every Wednesday and Friday this term. Children will need to wear full kit to school on PE days- plain house coloured t-shirt, plain black shorts/tracksuits bottoms and school cardigan or jumper. Long hair needs to be tied back and no jewellery is to be worn. Our PE units are handball and orienteering. 

Please continue to read at home daily with your child and make sure they have their reading book at school everyday. Reading records are monitored and children are welcome to write in them too. Mathletics will continue to be set weekly, along with times tables tasks on Purple Mash and on TTRS. Spellings are also set and tested weekly. In June the Year 4 multiplication check will be administered, so it is very important that the children are practising as much as possible at home and using Purplemash and TTRS regularly.

Class Dojo will continue to be updated regularly with class and school information.

If you need to contact me, you can send a message on Class Dojo or call the office to leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.

Thank you for your continued support.
