Maths
This term is all about time, shape and fractions. Please check back here for websites to access to help the children with their skills.
Please encourage your child to regularly access TT Rockstars. School have paid for a subscription to this as we think it is a valuable tool to help them practice their times tables.
Summer Project
Our project question is...
What is treasure?
As part of our project this term we will be looking at two naturalistic artists - Goldsworthy and Long. We will be discussing what treasure means to us and if all treasure has monetary value. Throughout this term we will create art through the medium of scultures.

Online Safety
The staff at Dallam are huge advocates of what an amazing tool the big wide web is. We are showing the children in Maple class how to use features such as email and blogging in a safe and controlled environment. However, we know that there is much more at their fingertips. Please have a read through the links below that the Maple team have put together for you. If you need any advice or to discuss matters further please see us any day at hometime.
