We also have daily arthmetic sessions which focus on basic number and calculation skills,including TT Rockstars.

Please check out My Maths tasks which are set weekly and relate to current learning. TT Rockstars is also a fantastic website to practise times tables.

In the first half of this term we shall be researching what life was like for children during World War 2, and the impact of evacuation. We shall also be investigating what the 'Home Front' was and how people had to adapt their lives to help do their bit.

In art we shall be developing our embroidery skills to create poppy designs. In DT we shall be looking at and trying out recipes used in World War 2 in  order to create a recipe book. 

PE- Sessions are on Monday, Thursday and Friday but please could kits be available all week just in case.

Journals are used as a reading diary and can be completed by the child or parent (or both) in Y5/6. They will be checked by the teacher on Friday.

Y6 children have CGP maths and SPAG books for weekly homework. This is set on Wednesday and should be returned the following Wednesday.  If your child has any difficulties with the homework, please let Mrs Hotchin know as soon as possible.
