Writing
During the first part of the Summer term, we will focus on a different genre of writing each week in order to give the children more opportunities to write and build their stamina for writing. These genres will be explored through the lens of traditional fairy tales as the children are familiar with these and it will help build their imaginations.
We will continue to read our text from last term - Chitty Chitty Band Bang and the Race Against Time - as the children have really enjoyed it and we have our theatre trip this half term to watch the original story.
Religious Education
Our next unit will be 'Pentecost' which asks the pupils to consider - 'Why does it sometimes need courage to be a witness?" We will explore how we live our lives, the way that we treat others and consider what our actions say about our attitude to service. The events of Pentecost will give us an opportunity to explore the work of the Spirit in enabling people to hear God's message to live Jesus' way of service.

Maths
During the Summer term we will focus on problem solving using all of the maths knowledge the children have built up this year. This will help to consolidate and deepen their understanding in preparation for SATs. Following this, we will revisit the trickier concepts, such as: fractions, translations, long division, percentages, decimals and algebra.
Homework
Hearing your child read can be difficult at this age, but as often as possible, ask your child questions about their reading book, challenge them to predict what will happen next and ask them to summarise what they have read so far. We are aiming for your child to read at home for 15 minutes, 4 times a week. This will be monitored and discussed with your child each Friday.
Spellings will be issued at the beginning of the half term then tested on the each Monday.
Maths and English will be issued on maths.co.uk and spag.com and these will be interactive. The children will answer questions, submit their efforts and get real time feedback. This provides me with great feedback and insightful data analysis.
Physical Education
Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday. Please make sure that your child attends school wearing the correct PE kit in order to participate in this fun, important and compulsory area of school life.
