Religious Education

Our RE enriches all of our learning. This half term, we are looking at the question...

Is it better to express your religion in art and architecture,

or charity and generosity?

Keep a lookout for the artwork we will be creating during this unit this half term.

Homework in the Autumn term

Homework will be set every week.

Children will be expected to complete their reading, weekly spellings and times tables activities.  

This will support their progress throughout the year in literacy and numeracy.  

In addition to this, children will have homework which is linked to our current Learning Challenge. 

Children will be able to earn points for each activity they complete, working towards a target and earning a prize when their target is reached. 

We love to read.....

Children will have their own reading books to take home. We look forward to seeing your progress on our Reading Rocks chart.

Children in Year 6 enjoy Cracking Comprehension sessions where you can develop your reading and comprehension skills.

We will be reading a class book - This term, we are reading a fiction novel linked to our Topic on WWII!

We have a well resourced school library where the children are allowed to select a book. 

There is also a reading corner in the classroom with designated slots when the children can enjoy a quiet read.

Our class reading book this term is...
