Reading Superstars

We recognise the importance of children reading regularly. We encourage children to read three times at home to an adult, three times at home to themselves and three times at school to themselves. Children are rewarded for meeting their reading targets.

P.E and Other Activities

P.E is timetabled for Wednesday mornings. Sometimes there may be opportunities to do P.E at other times of the week. It is, therefore, important that P.E kits remain in school throughout the week. On Thursday afternoons, children in our class attend a variety of exciting activities across school: gardening, sewing, art/craft, baking and ICT etc. Some of these activities may require children to bring in additional clothing/footwear and other items into school. Children who have been selected to attend such activities will be given a letter detailing what they will need to bring in to school.

Learning

Our topic this term is the Romans. We will be writing about Romulus and Remus, Julius Cesar and the life of Roman soldiers. We will also be learning about mosaics (art), aqueducts (Design and Technology) and forces such as gravity and air resistance (science) etc. More information about our learning is available from the parent forecast.

Our class book is The Assassins of Rome by Caroline Lawrence.
