What an amazing first week back we have had this week. The children have settled back into the swing of things and have picked up where they left off with their fantastic attitude to work. 

Notices:

Next week, Monday is a bank holiday so the children will be back at school on Tuesday. The children need their P.E. kits on Thursday although we do ask them to be in school all week if possible. Earrings should be removed before school please. Please ensure children have a suitable outdoor kit on Monday (white t-shirt, a warm jumper, jogging bottoms and trainers).

Please encourage the children to spend a little time each day reading, which we would be grateful if you logged on boomreader so that the children get dojos in school, practise their spelling patterns and spend a little time working on mastering their times tables.

Next week's learning:
- In maths, we will continue looking at angles.
- In reading, we will practise answering questions around a series of texts. 
- In history, we will start looking at the Shang Dynasty - where and when it was.
- In science,  we will start a new unit of living things and their habitats, looking at lifecycles of different animals.
- In art, we will continue studying Claude Monet.
- In P.E., we will continue developing our skills in cricket and athletics.
- In P.S.H.E., we will start a new unit of developing a healthy lifestyle - this week having a focus on smoking.
