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.
In our last week in Waterloo Bridge Class our learning will be as follows;

- In English we will prepare performances of our adverts in small groups. We will make props and rehearse our adverts before performing and filming them.
- In Design and Technology we will create moving pictures of people involved in sports.
- In music we are working hard on preparing a song for our arts celebration.
- In PE we will work on balance skills using the Real PE curriculum. Our last PE lesson will be on Monday.
We look forward to seeing as many parents as possible at our arts celebration on Tuesday afternoon.
In Waterloo Bridge Class this week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we will be working on skills to help us to progress in our number stars. This will include doubling and halving, number bonds to 1000, units of measure and division with remainders.
