Welcome to Moles

Class Teacher: Mrs Hart
Learning Support: Miss Plant, Mrs Rickaby

We have an action-packed half term planned with lots of exciting learning opportunities.

Maths: This half term, the children are looking forward to tackling fractions and understanding what a fraction is. We will also be exploring mass and capacity, alongside continuing to use the four operations successfully. The children are still enjoying their work on TT Rockstars and are improving in their multiplication knowledge – which is great to see.

English: This half term, we will be working towards writing a nonfiction report. We will focus on using precise nouns and pronouns, as well as expressing time, place, and cause using conjunctions. We will also look at how to use the predicate of a sentence to find out what the subject did or what happened to the subject. Additionally, we will focus on how to correctly use commas in our writing. We continue to have a strong focus on reading activities and reading for pleasure. Please read with your child at least three times a week and make a note of it in their diary. Reading books need to be in school every day. The children will bring home their spelling list on Fridays, and the test will be the following Friday. The spellings are related to the phonics we are covering in class. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Wider Curriculum: We will be wrapping up our history unit on the Shang Dynasty before diving into our new science unit on magnets and forces. In geography, we will be exploring weather and climate – fingers crossed for better weather!

PE: We will be developing our skills through tag rugby and netball-related activities. Please remember to have the correct PE kit. We hope to be outside, so please include a jumper or hoodie.

World Book Day: We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day on 6th March. The children are invited to dress up as their favourite book character. We will be celebrating our love of books throughout the day.

We are once again all looking forward to a super half term, thank you for your support.
