English

This term in English we are looking at how we can entertain an audience with our writing.

For the first two weeks of the term we will be looking at the poem 'The Magic Box by Kit Wright, as part of our Poetry Slam.

The Magic Box by Kit Wright

The children have worked hard over the last two weeks to learn the poem 'The Magic Box' off by heart and work on how they could perform this to an audience.

We hope you enjoy our performances.

Maths

This term in Maths we are continuing on with our learning about time, how to read an analogue clock, as well as converting time from 12-hour to 24-hour.

In the first two weeks of the term, we will complete our Multiplication Times Tables Checks as part of the Governments assessment. Please encourage your child to continue to practise these keys facts as they will benefit your child's learning in all Maths areas.
