Term 5

This term, our school focus is: Citizenship

Our text this term is 'Black Hole Cinema Club' which will be the focus of our writing and novel study lessons. It follows Lucas and his friends at a "4Di" movie marathon, where a tidal wave crashes out of the screen, pulling them into a high-stakes, immersive journey through various movie genres and perilous adventures. Their journey explores teamwork, and tests friendship linking directly to our overarching theme this term. 

Within maths, we will revisit fractions for the final time, before moving on to exploring money, focusing on the value of pounds and pence, before adding and subtracting totals using practical scenarios. Therefore, we strongly encourage children to be given the opportunity to use money outside of school where possible. 

In science, we will be exploring magnets and forces. 

Children will have rounders on a Tuesday, and cricket on a Friday, so please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for these activities.

Homework 

• Don't forget to practise multiplication facts at home on TTRockstars (Times Tables Rock Stars: Play) 
• Ensure you listen to your child read each night and then sign the reading record.
• Atom (targeted maths learning).
