Reading and spelling

In addition to the weekly spellings, each child has their own Spelling Shed account.

To support our children to read regularly each week, online books (with a range of opportunities to develop reading and inference skills) can be accessed through Bug Club.  

Learning showcase

We are currently learning about mixtures and separation in science. Since experimenting with mixtures, we moved onto sieving today. Now we can define the term sieving, describe how sieving separates mixtures and determine when it is more effective to use sieving or magnetism to separate a mixture.

The children have been thoroughly enjoying their PE lessons on our new playground. They are now able to explain the role of a defender in a competitive game, tag opposition players in isolation and apply basic defensive positions in a game.
