Key information:

• We expect our children to read every night and the children will receive a special treat at the end of half term if they’ve been reading regularly.
• Please make sure you have your PE kits in school at all times. We will send them home for washing each half term. They require their house colour t-shirt (available from Uniform and Leisure Wear), plain black shorts and black pumps or trainers.
• Weekly homework will be set on Google Classroom, where you can also find links to Times Table Rockstars, Spelling Shed and other useful sites for supporting the children’s learning.

• Autumn 1 –  Glorious Greeks

  We are learning about Ancient Greece. We will look at their lifestyles and compare to our culture in the UK.  We will then move onto Light.

  We will look at World War Two. We will look at the impact on people’s lives in Britain and are also planning a visit to look at artefacts. We also visited Central High where we completed a heart dissection.

  We will look at Power this half term and visit Heysham Power Station where we will learn lots about the source of energy as well as having a tour of the station.

  The children have explored circuits and learnt the circuit symbols.
