- Writing: We will be doing narrative writing. Focusing on the direct speech and the sentence structure.
- Reading: We will be starting ‘Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes
- Spelling: We will continue with our new Sounds and Syllables Scheme this term. Building on the phonetic rules and strengthening strategies to chunk and spell words. Please practice the spellings in the front of your child’s homework book also.

Children will need their PE kits in school on Thursdays and Fridays to be able to fully participate in the lessons. Please make sure children have trainers for outdoor PE sessions. Homework will be sent home in a workbook on a Friday and collected in on a Wednesday to be marked. Reading books are checked every Monday. The children are asked to read at least 5 times a week and record it in their reading records.
