Homework
Homework will be set in Google Classroom
Homework will consist of either maths, comprehension or a piece of work related to our context.
Spellings
Spellings will be set in Google Classroom every other Friday
Children will be given a list of words to learn, using a different strategy. This can also be practised in J2Blast in HWB.
Reading
Reading books will be provided on Active Learn, online.
This academic year we will be providing your child with a weekly reading book online using their 'Active Learn' account. The children have been shown how to access the books and how to read it, and answer the comprehension questions that accompany it. Children are welcome to bring in books from home to read in school, but they will need to be kept in their school bag or class folder. Please encourage your child to read at home as much as possible whether it be books, comics or even instruction manuals!
Your child can continue to develop the maths skills taught each week, by accessing their own 'Maths world' at Active Learn. Each child has been given a username and password. The school code is qlq7.
Big Maths
Big Maths 'Clic', 'Safe' and 'Learn its' tests will take place weekly online in school. Parents/guardians are able to support their child's learnin by practising the tests we have put into Google Classroom.

Learning Project - Summer Term - Scream Machine
Roll up, roll up. You’re going on a day trip to a theme park, to soak up the unique sights, smells and sounds of the fair. Learn about the science behind roller coasters and write poems that are shaped as a loop the loop. Time for some mini investigations. Cam mechanisms, pendulums, pulleys and prototypes. Let’s go behind the scenes to see forces at work. Good news. The engineers at ‘Scream Towers’ love your work and want you to build a death defying new drop ride for their theme park. Make a working model and test it out with uncooked eggs. Cracking stuff. Okay, ready to ride? Don’t forget to scream if you want to go faster.
