Spring Term 1
I hope you have all had a fantastic Christmas break. This term our topics are: Journeys in R.E, Plants in Science and Egyptians for our Creative Curriculum.
Don't forget we have now started our swimming lessons, this means you will need your swimming kit every Monday morning.
Homework
Every Friday, the children will recieve spellings, reading and maths to complete. The reading homework will involve reading a test and answering some questions about it, to show they understand. The maths will involve reading some pages in the study guide. They will then either answers answers about that section or they will page notes in their homework to summarise what they have learnt from reading them pages. Lastly, the children will recieve a spelling activity, then encourages them to learn the spellings given. All three pieces need to be in on Wednesday.
Mathletics and Purple Mash can be accessed anytime. To login into Lexia you need to use Lexiacore5.com and then when asked for an email use Lexia@stannes.com and then proceed with your own login in name and password.
Thank you,

Autumn Term
This term we have been looking at fairytales. We have written well known fairytales from the villain’s point of view. We have thought about how we can make they appear nicer. We have looked at the how our vocabulary can change the reader’s opinion of a character.
While learning about The Stone Age, we designed and created our own Stone Age homes. The children really enjoyed this activity.
We categorised everyday items into solids, liquids and gases. Then, we looked at items that were difficult to place into one group. We discovered that they are called Non-Newtonian Fluids. We had fun investigating their properties.
