Geography Topic

Next week we will continue to find out about and describe the rainforest layers. We have been treated to some wonderful presentations by some of the class, showing their own rainforest experiences. They did not travel as far as you might think though – Cornwall, Berkshire and their very own house!

Katherine Rundell live online

We have been enjoying our reading of The Explorer and on Wednesday next week we will be joining a live online session with the author. Let’s get thinking of some questions to ask her!

Science

Y4 are finding out about the human digestive system. This week's lesson promises to be very messy and lots of fun!

Y5 are exploring burning and irreversible changes. This week we are learning about the chemical reaction that takes place in iron wool combustion.

Homework

Maths on Atom Learning – Year 4 and Year 5

Times Table facts practice (on Times Table Rockstars for example)

Practising spellings

Reading

Last week children wrote homework schedules in their planners.. Some children had great intentions and devised a packed homework schedule throughout the week. As the weeks progress, I am sure that they will develop a realistic timetable for completing homework that enables regular practice in all areas. Please help your children manage their homework.

Year 5 Bikeability

You have received an email asking you to register your Y5 child for the Bikeability training. It will take place over two days between 7^th and 10^th October. Please register your child by 24^th September.

Have a great week!
