The children have continued to work really hard, learning the songs etc for the play. We still need your children to have black leggings/trousers and a black top for the production, so please, either send suitable clothes in (in a named bag), or let me know if you need help with this. If you have any questions about the production, please do email on the class email.

This week will look very different, with the main focus being the play! However, Monday and Tuesday will include lessons as normal, together with PE and swimming.

English: In English this week, we continue to investigate the features of non-chronological reports, looking specifically at organising our research notes and editing.

Whole Class Reading: In Whole Class reading this week, we will continue reading the Tunnel, by Anthony Browne. We will investigate the vocabulary and answer questions about the text, both as a class and individually.

Maths: In Maths we will continue the fractions unit, investigating equivalent fractions on a numberline.

PE: In PE, we will be practising for the forthcoming Sorts Day activities.

Swimming, as usual, will be on Tuesday.

The children will need full PE kit, swimming costume/trunks, a towel, swimming cap - this is required by the swimming pool, and goggles (although these are optional). There will also be occasions when we do additional PE sessions, so please can the children have their PE kit in school all week. Please remind the children to bring all their kit, including a towel!

I am always happy to answer any questions you may have, so please do contact me if you have any queries, using the class email address:
