In Class we we are learning...
| Cross-Curricular Theme |
Junior Apprentice
Children but their 'business' heads on with the challenge of the Junior Apprentice this term. They will work in teams to produce a product which they can sell for profit. Each group starts with a £5 loan from school and they must 'speculate to accumulate' to make as much money as possible.
The challenge will end with a Trade Fair where children sell their products.
The winning group from each class will keep their profits and the other teams will put their profits together to either buy something for the school or give it to charity (this will be decided at the end).
We are holding a meeting to give you more information about this and how you can support your child in the school hub on Monday 24th June from 3:05 to 3:30pm. We hope to see you there!

Literacy |
This term, we are reading The Midnight Fox and all of our literacy work will be based on this. Through this, we will recap on different text types, punctuation and grammar as well as drama activities including hot seating.
Here are some games for children to practise their literacy skills: http://www.funbrain.com/grammar/ http://www.funbrain.com/cgi-bin/plur.cgi?A1=s&A2=1 http://www.funbrain.com/cgi-bin/ww.cgi?A1=s&A2=0&A3=0s

Numeracy |
This term, we are looking at Theme Park maths which will teach children all the skills they will need for the Junior Apprentice. Children have a budget of £500,000 to design and build a theme park. They then need to work out costings for running the park for a day, month then whole year. As well as this, they will learn about percentage increases through interest and will calculate profits and losses.
Spare few minutes? Why not play the Maths Arcade? http://www.funbrain.com/brain/MathBrain/MathBrain.html

PE days - Change!!! As of term 5, we will have PE on Mondays and Thursdays.
Please can children have correct Pe kit in school for these days. White t-shirt, blue or black shorts and appropriate footwear for both indoor and outdoor PE. I am more than happy for children to wear jogging bottoms for outdoor PE when it is cold, but please can these be dark and plain.
Children will need to tie their hair back and ALL jewellry must be removed (earrings may be covered with tape)
