Welcome to the

I hope you have had a lovely Christmas holiday and I am looking forward to welcoming your back in January.
Our next topic will be 'Chocolate' which is part of our whole school skills focus of 'Explore'.
In English, we will be using the book 'The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart' by Stephanie Burgis as well as looking at 'Pig Heart Boy' by Malorie Blackman. In History, we will be learning about the Ancient Maya.
In Maths, we will be focusing on multiplication and division; fractions, decimals and percentages; perimeter and area; and statistics.

Homework
Each term, the children will be given a new ‘Independent Homework Grid’. In Year 5, there will be set ‘hand in’ days at the bottom which is the minimum requirement. Each task should be taken from a different row and column. The amount of time a child chooses to spend on a project is up to them. Please focus on the presentation!
After completing times tables and arithmetic on a Friday, children should choose an area that they would like to practice at home to help them improve their score each week.
Maths
To improve your weekly arithmetic, you should be practicing using MyMaths https://www.mymaths.co.uk/. Each week, we will write an area on the front cover that we would like to improve.
