Homework

Each week you are expected to read to an adult at home at least three times. Books are sent home on Monday and should be returned the following Friday (unless you have not finished the book). In addition, you should practise multiplication tables on TT Rockstars and learn your weekly spellings. You may also choose to create a power point presentation on an aspect of Ancient Egypt that you can share with the class.

Our World Book Day Celebrations also took place during the term, with the whole school joining in a series of activities about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter, Peter Rabbit and the poetry book, Heard it on the Playground.
