 Current Learning 

In English, we will be exploring The Nowhere Emporium by Ross MacKenzie before moving on to the poetry unit “Still I Rise” inspired by Maya Angelou.

In maths, children will develop their understanding of shape, angles, position, and direction, including symmetry, reflection, and translation.

Our history topic asks “What was the impact of the Romans?” 

We will study Roman entertainment, art, army strategies, and Boudicca’s influence.

In art, we will explore colour theory and use this to design modern mosaic floors.

We would really like EVERYONE to focus on finding books that they love, getting lost in great stories, and sharing those fantastic stories with us all at school. We ask that all children read for pleasure at least 4 times a week and record this on BoomReaderhttps://www.boomreader.co.uk/

Children should also make use of Times Tables Rock Stars at least three times a weekhttps://ttrockstars.com/
