Look what we've been up to recently ...
Last half term our main topic focused around the functions of the circulatory system and how our body breathes. We looked at parts of the circulatory system, labelled them and made models to represent these in Design Technology. We took part in an investigation to test our lung capacity in Science, this was interesting as the results varied greatly.
Look at some of our pictures...

Each week your child will be set homework in the following areas:
- Reading
- Maths - work linked to this weeks work in class
- Maths - key mental targets (see below to download a spare copy)
- GPS (Grammar/Punctuation/Spelling)
Reading at Home
Children will also be expected to cpmplete reading at home to an adult. The expected amount is at least 4 reads of 20 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.

To be tested each week - Your child will have the appropriate revision sheets uploaded to their seesaw home learning space, but a spare can be downloaded here if you wish! Your child should only revise one page per week.
