Maths Passports
Each child is given their own maths passport. Inside there are number fact challenges to work through. Children recieve bronze, silver and gold awards.
When you have practised, please sign inside their Mad about Maths book. After every 10 practises your child will recieve a certificate and their name will be on the newsletter.
Challenges will be set and tested every Thursday (this is a change for Spring Term). Please ensure their book is in school on this day.

Learning
Our learning question the Autumn term is:
Why do people do the things they do?
This project will have history focus.
We will be learning about the Ancient Egyptians.
As part of our project children will:
- Visit the World Museum in Liverpool
- Discover the world that the Ancient Egyptians lived in
- Spend time in the outdoor area
- Make a video to share some of their learning
- Learn about how people's beliefs can influence their behaviour.
Our Science Topic is:
Light
The children will learn about this with Mrs Harrison on a Thursday afternoon.
You will soon be able to download a copy of our Autumn Term Project letter below.
Reading
Reading books are checked daily. Please try to read with your child for 10 minutes every night and sign their Reading Champions record.
A number of our children struggle with comprehension. Try to ask a few questions about the story they have read to support them with this.
After every 10 reads your child will earn a 'Reading Champions' certificate and have their name on the newsletter.
