Hello everyone! We hope you have had a brilliant week off! We are very excited about the half-term ahead, which will be full of happiness, health and opportunity.

This year lots of exciting things will be happening for Blossom Class ; you will enjoy new challenges, be given a range of opportunities and have lots of fun. 

English...

In English, this half-term we will be looking at a creative story writing unit before finishing with some Japanese poetry. This will be the fantastic picture books 'Journey' and 'The mysteries of Harris Burdick'.

Maths...

We will be continuing using Power Maths this year in our lessons. Year 4 will be looking at angles before moving onto statistics. Year 5 will begin with decimals before looking at negative numbers.

Times tables are a vital part of education. Children should practise these regularly at home as well as at school.

Geography...

We will be building our skills in Geography. This will include taking on a set of exciting and sometimes mysterious challenges to see if we can become a world-wide geography whizz and Olympic map champions. We may even save our school from being flattened for an intergalactic supermarket along the way!

 

Science...

This half-term we will be looking at the topic of sound. This will involve looking at how sounds are made, vibrations, volume, pitch and looking at the ear in more detail.

Readers...

We expect children to be reading at home most nights for around 10/15 minutes. We want to encourage a love of reading as much as possible so that children can understand the key aspects of reading.

As a whole class we will be reading 'Who let the Gods out'.

P.E...

Our P.E. lessons this half-term will be on a Thursday and Friday afternoon. We no longer attend swimming lessons.

Forest School...

We will not be attending forest school this half-term. We have our family forest school on Friday 14th June.

Spellers...

The children will receive spellings for the half-term.  We will complete our spelling activities every Friday.

Snacks...

If you would like to buy a healthy snack it is £1 per week, this can be payable as £7 for the half-term through ParentPay.
