Reading: Your child will bring a reading book home from the School Library to read regularly (at least 5 times a week) at home. Please encourage your child to complete their reading diary to show when they have read.

On a Tuesday, your child will bring home a 60-second reading comprehension sheet to complete for the following Monday.

Spelling: On a Tuesday, your child will receive a Look Say Cover Write Check sheet to complete at home with 10 spellings. The spellings will also appear on this class page on the school website each week. These spellings are based on the National Curriculum and linked to the words, patterns or rules we will cover in class.

The children will be tested on these words on the following Monday.

Maths: The children will receive a sheet, with questions to complete at home, based on their learning in class during that week. This will be sent home on a Tuesday to be handed in on the following Monday.

The children can continue to practise times tables using Times Tables Rockstars at home. They will have a times tables test every Tuesday revisiting previously learnt times tables which will involve both multiplications and divisions.

Our Topics

Autumn 1: Stargazers

Navigate beyond the Sun, the magnificent, blazing star at the centre of our Solar System. Investigate the planets, take a look at the Moon. Investigate gravity and compare the times of day at different places on the Earth. Exploring space is the greatest adventure that humankind has ever undertaken. Are we alone? Or are there other life forms out there?
