Welcome to Class 4!

Welcome back to school for the second part of the Autumn term. This half term is all about science and delving into our understanding of light, how we see and how it affects shadows. We will also be exploring our knowledge of space, our solar system, and the stars above us. We will be carrying out investigations involving how the sun affects our shadows, carrying out detailed research about space and asking questions to further our understanding.

Please ensure you look out for the Light and Space Knowledge Organiser (downloadable here) in preparation for our knowledge mini quizes and Blooket challenges.

We are a mixed Year 5 and Year 6 group.

THE READING RAFFLE CHALLENGE

This year we will be emphasising reading as a focus for our learning. Ensure that your home reader is in school EVERYDAY as we will be starting our day with reading and creating a calm and focused start to our day. The expectation in Class 4 is for the children to read a minimum of 3-5 times per week. If they achieve this they will earn 5 team points and a raffle ticket which puts them in position to win a prize at the end of the half term. the more tickets the more chance to be a reading winner!

You have to be reading it to win it!!!

Class 4 will have swimming on Monday and PE on Friday afternoons.Please ensure they have their swimming and PE kits on the correct days.

Remember home learning is always due back in on a Tuesday so it can be checked and sent back out to you each Thursday.

Our Curriculum Newsletter is published every half-term.
