Spring Term 2025

Welcome to the Spring Term!  Soon the days will be getting longer and warmer and we can all enjoy more outdoor time.  

This term we have practised our fiction writing skills, using the stunningly illustrated book Journey by Aaron Becker. (We also had a sneaky peek at the other two books in the trilogy, which were equally exciting.)  We are now learning aobut the History of Gainsborough.  This unit helps us understand how the town has developed and changed over time, and the important part the River Trent has played in its history.

Homework

Each week children are required to read to an adult at home at least 3 times.  This should be recorded in their reading record and the reading record should be brought into school every Thursday.  Team points are awarded for each home reading session recorded.

A weekly spelling sheet will be sent home for children to practise their spellings.  From Term 2, these will be tested each week.

Finally, children should spend time each week practising their multiplication tables.  For Year 3 this will be 3x, 4x and 8x.  For Year 4 all tables upto 12x12.  We have provided every Hedgehogs with a TT Rockstars log in to help them practise online.
