Happy Friday everyone! 

We have had a very busy first full week back. We have started our new guided reading book called 'The Explorer' which everyone is enjoying. Ask your children what has happened so far and maybe they could predict what is going to happen next. 
In English we have began a new unit based on the whole school book of the 'The Fox and the Star'. We have been looking at the different characters within the story and been writing character descriptions. Next week we will be planning and writing our own adaptions of the story. 
In Maths we have been looking at place value. The children have been super with this and we will be continuing this unit over the next couple of weeks. 
Our history topic this term is the Benin Kingdom and have been studying different sources to understand what life was like for the Edo people. 
In our PE session today we continued developing our hockey skills and even played some matches! 

I will be setting spelling homework next week. I would also expect that children are reading every day at home and recording this in their reading records. Please also continue using TTRS to ensure children are practicing their timetables. Please send me a dojo if you have any concerns. 

I hope you have a lovely weekend!
