Our Class News This Week:
Hello everyone! Welcome back!
This week, we have had a very busy week with our swimming lessons every morning. The children have had an absolute blast and I have been thoroughly impressed by the improvements they have all made!
In English, we are looking at researching for, planning and creating non-chronological reports about the local area and history of West Drayton linked to our new History topic. In Maths, we have started looking at the different types of angles (acute, right angle, obtuse, reflex and straight line) and are focusing on measuring angles with our protractors. Also, in Science, we looked at the different processes for separating mixtures including evaporation, filtration, magnetic attraction and sieving.
Have a lovely weekend!
- Miss Hanrahan

Homework
Each week, children will have homework set which is expected to be completed for Thursday. There will be work which can be completed in the CGP Grammar and Reading Comprehension books children are provided with. Grammar homework will be sent out every week, while Reading comprehension will be sent out every two weeks. Mathematics homework will continue to be set online via Mathletics.
The most important way to support your child at home is through reading. We expect each child to read for a minimum of 10 minutes a day. If you have time, try to read with your child and ask them questions about the story they are reading. This quality, dedicated time set aside to reading has a huge impact on children's learning across the curriculum and helps develop a love of reading which can last a lifetime.
Please sign your child's reading record each day.
