Reading
Children are asked to read at home on a daily basis and their book should be brought to school each day. It is helpful if parents can comment regularly in their child’s Reading Record, particularly when their child has finished their book. Children are responsible for changing and selecting their own books in the morning.
Homework
Children will be given homework each Friday to be handed in by the following Tuesday. Children are also asked to learn spellings and times tables at home. They are responsible for recording their homework in their homework diary.
Other
Children are asked to bring to school a water bottle. They should have a waterproof coat when it is raining or the forecast is for rain.
We have had a great first week back in Waterloo Bridge Class. The children have worked really hard. This week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we continue to work on time. We will work on learning the numbers of days in each month and year. We will also learn about 12 hour digital time with a.m and p.m.
- In English we will write a non-chronological report on volcanoes.
- In science we will learn about types of rocks including natural and man-made rocks.
- In topic time we will carry out research into a volcano of our choice.
- In RE we will think about whether we would include volcanoes into our perfect world.
We were proud to receive our first 100% attendance certificate in assembly this morning for our attendance for the last week of the Autumn term.
Welcome back to everyone after the Christmas break and a Happy New Year.
This week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we will learn to tell the time to the nearest minute using analogue and digital clocks.
- In English we will learn about the features of a non-chronological report.
- In science we will begin a new topic on rocks and soil.
- In topic time we will learn about the causes of volcanoes.

This term outdoor PE will take place every Tuesday (weather permitting) and indoor PE each Friday. Children should have suitable kit in school (including plimsolls or trainers).
