In English, this half term, the second text that we will are focusing on is 'Blue John'. Throughout this text you will develop many of your wriitng skills and work towards the following mastery keys:

  Build a rich and varied vocabulary and an increasing range of sentence structures

 Variety of verb forms used correctly and consistently including the progressive and the present perfect forms

Use paragraphs to organise information and ideas around a theme

Maths

The area of maths that we are focusing on at the moment is angles. We will be learning how to identify different types of angles, explore the number of degress in various angles, measure angles acuurately using a protractor and we will also be drawing a range of angles.

For this half term our PE day is a Thursday and our focus will be hockey. 

Remember, on your PE day, you should come to school wearing your PE kit for the entire day. As our PE sessions will be outside, we recommend that you wear a suitable outdoor PE kit.
