DOVES & PENGUINSHALF TERM HOMEWORK GRID

Dear Parent/Carer,

Next half term your child will begin a new topic ‘Kings, Queens and Castles’; this takes a historical approach to our learning. The topic focuses on medieval life and traditional stories and fairy tales which feature Kings ,Queens and Castles.The class will visit Castle Rising which will cover the history and geography curriculum.

The maths curriculum this half term covers addition and subtraction methods, rounding and estimating numbers, multiplying and dividing, fractions and decimals and symmetry and angles of turn.

In science and Design Technology your child will learn about fair testing and recording data. This links to our topic as they will be exploring strong materials with which to build structures such as towers and bridges. The children will continue to learn German words and phrases and will also will experience a full day of RE.

Dear Student,

You can choose to do these activities in any order…have fun!!l

These activities are not marked…but if you would like to bring them to school to show I would love to see them!

Miss Rutter, Mrs Gibbs & Mrs Snow wish you all a safe and happy Christmas break.
