Due to the limitations of Class Dojo for setting some larger tasks, we will often link you to our remote learning page to access your learning. Just click on the satchel below. The page will be updated daily and previous tasks up to 22nd January will remain accessible at the bottom of this page. Please upload completed work to Dojo or they can be emailed to us via our class email address. Thank you all for being so amazing and, as ever, please email us with any questions or problems.

Our Learning
This Term
In Maths this term we will be continuing to focus on Multiplication and Division with a particular focus on 6,7 and 8 times tables. After that we will be calculating the area of shapes which will follow on from our perimeter shape work last term.
In our writing lessons this term we will be exploring Adventure stories, which will link to our new topic of the Romans. The texts that we will write will have a particular focus on setting descriptions and punctuated speech. We will then be moving onto our next non-fiction unit, persuasive writing.
We have 2 very exciting books to read this term as our class novels, as well as lots of non fiction pieces to study in whole class reading.
In PE, we will be competing in the Berkshire Virtual School Games, as well as gymnastics in our other session.
STAR OF THE WEEK!






Anti-bullying Week
As part of anti-bullying week, we thought about who are support network could be and wrote down the names of five people we could talk to if we were unhappy about something.
