Week ending the 13th November
It was great to talk to parents on the phone this week to let you know how your wonderful children are doing in class.
Another busy week in Toucans with the start of our Cello and Violin lessons for this year. We also visited the cenotaph, by the church, to lay our Remembrance crosses.
Homework
Thank you for supporting your child with their homework this week.
Remember they can mark their Maths work themselves at home (answers are in the back of the books). However, we would still like them to bring in their books every Thursday to check that they have done the homework and if they need any help with particular questions, Mr Beswick will be able to work with them before we return the books to the children on the Friday.

Curriculum
In Maths we will begin our work on Fractions by simplifying fractions, placing them on a number line and comparing and ordering them.
In English we will be editing and using ICT to publish our information texts on Black heroes. We will also begin our new guided reading and comprehension lessons
In RE we will start our new topic on Christian Community. We will look at how Christians worship and how they come together as part of a community.
In Science, we will continue with our topic Light exploring sources and how light travels.
Home Reading
Thank you to everyone who has been reading at home. We have had lots of diaries signed and consequently the children have been receiving their first raffle tickets for our reading draw.
We have been enjoying quiet reading time in class this week so the children have the opportunity to immerse themselves in their new books.
Our PE day is Friday so please send your child to school wearing their PE kit on that day.
Kind regards,
Mrs Whittingham, Mrs Downing and Mr Beswick
