Welcome back everybody!

Welcome back everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful summer break. I am really looking forward to this year and we have lots of exciting things planned for this half term!

Children should arrive at school via the KS2 gate between 8.30am and 8.40am where they can join in with wake up shake up in the hall or go straight into class to read.

 At the start of the day the children have a 20-minute session on basic skills such as spelling, handwriting and maths facts. It is essential that your child is here on time so they don’t miss these vital sessions.

In English, we will be recapping grammar and punctuation as well as writing our own stories. We will also be writing an information text about the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. As well as following the English curriculum, children will be having sessions on handwriting, grammar and spellings.

 We will be covering a range of maths this half term. The children will be learning about place value of numbers over 1,000 as well as developing their reasoning and problem solving skills. We will also be looking at adding and subtracting 4 digit numbers.

This half term our topic will be based on the Ancient Egyptians.

We will be comparing different ancient civilisations, learning about hieroglyphics and exploring the achievements of the Ancient Egyptians. We will be learning about Tutankhamun and the discovery of his tomb; the Egyptian gods and their belief in the afterlife and the effect that the River Nile had on Egypt. In Art, we will be sketching Egyptian patterns and using clay to make Egyptian cartouches.

We are hoping to be able to go on a trip to Leeds City Museum to explore their amazing collection of Egyptian artefacts including an actual Mummy! A letter will be sent out soon with more information once it is confirmed.

In RE will be focusing on Diwali and Hinduism. The children will explore the story of Rama and Sita.

In Science our topic is animals, including humans. We will focus on the digestive system and our teeth. The children will have the opportunity to learn all about teeth and how vitamins and minerals help our bodies.

Our computing this half term will focus on programming and coding.

Mrs Exley will be in class every morning to help support the children.   

 Thank you

Mrs Finch and Mrs Exley
