Welcome to Class 4!

Happy New Year! Welcome back to the first half of the Spring term.

This half term is all about history.

This half term we dig even further back into history. We will be learning about the Vikings and their actions during the middle ages. Why did they invade other countries around Europe? Where did they come from and what did they want? What kind of people were they and how did they live? Were they as fierce as their reputation implies and were all Vikings warriors? 

Please ensure your child is learning their Knowledge Organiser facts as there will be a regular weekly quiz.

Please ensure you look out for the Vikings Knowledge Organiser (downloadable here) in preparation for our knowledge mini quizes.We are a mixed Year 5 and Year 6 group.

This year we will be emphasising reading as a focus for our learning. Ensure that your home reader is in school EVERYDAY as we will be starting our day with reading and creating a calm and focused start to our day.

Class 4 will be swimming on Monday and have PE on Friday afternoons.

Remember home learning is always due back in on a Tuesday so it can be checked and sent back out to you each Thursday.

Our Curriculum Newsletter is published every half-term.
