Welcome to Squirrels

Class teacher: Mrs Pope & Mrs Campbell
Learning support: Mrs Reed

Squirrels class have come back ready and eager for this half term! They have shown great excitement to be continuing our History of Roman Britain and our Geography on The Americas. This half term we will also be looking at States of Matter in Science and starting our D&T project on recycled material musical instruments.

Most excitingly, we have begun our rehearsal of our production alongside year 3. We will be preforming Splash! A comedy retelling of Noah’s ark told from the animal’s point of view. We will be spending lots of time working on our lines, songs and dance moves to share with the school and our parents at the end of the half term. We can’t wait!

In Maths we have started with perimeter of 2D shapes and will then start to look at fractions. Alongside this we are still working hard on our timestable knowledge to help us with the MTC checks later in the year. Don’t forget you can practice this on TTRS soundcheck, or by singing our rolling numbers songs.

In English we have finished our narrative set in Ancient Egypt and are now moving on to writing to inform, looking at explanations. In this topic we will be focussing on joining clauses using a variety of conjunctions and the use of fronted adverbials to add variety into our sentence starts.

We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day on 6th March! Your child is invited to dress up as any book character they wish, and we will be taking part in lots of exciting book-related activities in class.

PE will be on a Tuesday and Wednesday.

Spellings will be handed out and tested every Monday.
