Your child will have a 'Reading Reward Card' in their reading record. Please ensure that your child reads each day - continuing to read with them is wonderful! If your child reads every day in one week they will receive one stamp. When they have achieved 4 stamps your child will be given a reward in school. If you are unsure about anything, please speak to a member of the team. Thank you for your continued support and happy reading!

Autumn
Ancient Greece
We have been scrutinising different sources of evidence and thinking about how we, as historians, interpret the past and consider reliability.
Earth and Space
In Science, we have been learning about the planets in our Solar System, including their relative size and their distance from their sun.
We have looked at the different phases of the moon, and developed our understanding of how the Earth, Moon and other planets move relatively to the sun. We've enjoyed lots of practical activities!
Film Music
In music, we've been learning about film backing tracks and how they add suspense to scenes or suggests characters' feelings. We've read 'graphic scores' to recognise pitch, tempo and major / minor sounds.
