Class 4 2023 - 2024
Welcome to Class 4!
Hola! This half term, our Geography topic is all about Mexico.
Welcome back for the summer term! This half term will be as busy as ever, particularly for the children in Year 6 who will be doing their SATS during the week commencing Monday 13th May. We also have a fantastic new topic and lots of great activities and events over the next six weeks
This half term, we will be focusing on Geography and exploring the human and physical features of the Central American country of Mexico. We will be exploring the landscape of Mexico, what are some of the major landmarks across this diverse country and what can we learn about its natural inhabitants? We will be researching the vast Chiachanaian Desert and learning about the cultures that can be found there. The children will also examine some of their festivals, such as the day of the dead, and learn about their importance to the Mexican people.
Please ensure your child is learning their Knowledge Organiser facts as there will be a regular weekly quiz.
Please ensure you look out for the Mexico Knowledge Organiser (downloadable here) in preparation for our knowledge mini quizes.We are a mixed Year 5 and Year 6 group.
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.
Class 4 will will have PE on Monday and Tuesday afternoons.
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.
