Message to Parents
This year really is flying! The children are being asked to work incredibly hard in class and our pace of learning is incredible. As always, the children are rising to every challenge that they are being set.
After this week, we have 5 weeks until our assessment week. Maintaining a balanced curriculum is really important. They have to experience learning in all of the other subjects as well as the increased focus on Maths and English. There has been huge progress made in these areas because the children are so motivated and determined to do well.
Intrinsic motivation and the children being determined to succeed will inevitably lead to their success. Effort breeds success.
Please do get in touch if you need any more support.
REVISION FOR OVER THE EASTER HOLIDAYS
SPELLING - Revise all of your spellings from your spelling book. Which words are you finding tricky? Is there a particular rule? Can you re-learn some of the spellings you have got wrong in your quizzes?
GPS - You have a short paper to work through at home. Are you comfortable with all concepts? What could you research further? Could you use IXL for further consolidation?
MATHS - I have given you a reasoning paper to have a go at over the holidays, reason your way through this along side an adult for support. I have added White Rose Home Learning to the button below. You can watch videos to help you in any area of maths that you are not sure about.
READING - Have a look at and work through the reading paper sent home- this time why not time yourself. Just give yourself 20 minutes to complete each section. Then go back at it another day and reflect on whether you stuck to time or on the areas you spent too long on. Timing in this is key, that is why fluency is so vital. Read every day!
