In our topic on 'The Swinging Sixties' we shall research and study changes in our locality using a range of sources.

In art, we shall be looking at the work of pop artists Andy Warhol and Peter Blake for inspiration and then developing our drawing and computer skills through creating pieces of art in a similar style.

We have PE on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Reading books will be checked on Friday.

Spelling lists are given out on Monday and tests take place on Friday. 

Homework

We strive to achieve at least 4 reads a week, as reading is the key to learning. The children are set spellings every Monday (these are then tested on Friday).

Homework projects are to be handed in by Tuesday 11th July please.

Mathletics is still part of our homework and we all have log ins to 'TT Rockstars' This is a fantastic website and APP to support learning of multiplication tables. .
