Curriculum

In English we will be reading the book ‘Because of Winn Dixie’ by Kate Di Camillo and creating lots of writing from it. We will also be writing lots about science fiction. Our other topics include the Aztecs, states of matter (solids, liquids and gases), hockey, gymnastics and Islam. Please have a look at our LOD videos for more description of what we will be covering this term.

Trips

We again have exciting events and trips planned, including, a trip to the Hounslow Mosque (24^th January) and a visit by ‘Mexicolore’ (2^nd April), who will tell the children all about the Aztecs and Maya. On the 8^th March it will be Science Fiction Day, which will involve dressing up as a favourite Science Fiction character (this is not compulsory).

Home Learning

Homework will continue in the same style as a ‘Grid’, in which your children can choose the activities to complete each week. Alongside this, your children we be expected to practise spellings, complete daily reading and practise their mental maths (using their Good Times Challenge sheets) throughout each week too. Your child also has access to www.mathletics.com, which should be used to reinforce their maths knowledge in an engaging and fun way.

We hope you and the children have a very successful spring term.
