Look what we've been up to recently:
Last half term we completed our history topic on King Charles III. We learned all about the history of the British Royal Family and their family tree. We also created Coronation decorations and had a street party before watching the festivities live on television! In Art, we focussed on the artist, Andy Warhol and created our own postage stamps just like the Royal Mail stamps used for King Charles III. We then used primary and secondary colours to print our stamps and created a final piece. In DT, we made castles out of recycled materials, following a design breif we created in small groups.
Look at some of our pictures...

Reading at Home
Children will be expected to complete reading at home to an adult. The expected amount is at least 3 reads of 15 minutes per week it is vital that your child completes this as it supports the learning that takes place in the classroom
All reading at home should be recorded in the reading log book so that children can earn rewards for their efforts.

Topic Homework
Each half term children will be given a 'topic web' (see image below). This 'web' calls for a variety of skills to be used from across the curriculum. All of the suggested ideas link to our current topic and should be tackled over the course of the half term. (Hand each piece in as it is completed). This homework is designed to enable families to tackle homework at their own pace helping pupils maintain a broad and balanced homework currciulm whilst supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
