Maths
Please encourage your child to go onto the following sites to support their learning:
www.ttrockstars.com (Your child's log in information is inside their reading record)
The children will have times-tables tests 3 times a week and will have a short test at the end of each module that we’ll be learning. The end of module tests indicate which children need a little bit more of a boost and invited to join a maths booster group.
During Spring term, we will be learning about the following areas of maths:
- Multiplication and Division
- Fractions
- Decimals and Percentages
Reading
Please try to listen to your child read every day for 10 minutes. This should be followed by a discussion of the text. Please then update your child’s reading record book each time you hear them read including books they choose from home. You can record aspects they found difficult or if they particularly enjoyed it. Please ensure your child’s reading book and record are in school every day so we can hear your child read as often as possible.
We will be reading a range of different texts throughout the year, both through our topic work and also our story time and reading for pleasure opportunities. Ask your child what our current class book is!
Writing
Our creative curriculum topic is entitles 'Our Roots' and is all about our global world and migration. We will be looking specifically at the countries of origin of the families of children in our class and comparing them to our locality in Rochdale. Please look through your child's Learning logs for some ideas on how to support your child's topic learning this term.
After half term, we will be looking specifically at the Kingdom of Benin from AD 900-1300.
Using this topic stimulus, we will be producing a range of genres whilst studying the following quality texts and films.
The Boy at the Back of the Class
My name is not refugee
Azzi in Between
Matchbox Diary
Close to the Wind
Shadow
Give me Shelter

Homework
Please read with your child every day for 10 minutes. Your child will be given a list of spellings to learn on a Monday and will be tested on them that Friday. Please help your child to learn them.
Your child will be given other homework which will be either a single piece of homework or a block of various homework, which is to be done over half a term, supporting their classwork.
