Gentle Reminder
If your child wears earrings, please can you ensure that they are taken out on Monday mornings or covered with tape. This is to ensure your child is kept safe in the activities they do.

English
This week we have finished reading Theseus and the Minotaur. What an unexpected ending! In our sentence writing, we have used personification and pathetic fallacy. The children enjoyed exploring how the weather can be described with human emotions to reflect a character’s feelings. Next week we will plan a sequel to the original myth.
Maths
This week our mathematicians completed a block of lessons regarding money. This involved subtracting money and finding the correct change using practical resources in the classroom. Next week, the children will begin learning about time. It would be helpful if you could talk to your child about what the hands on the clock represent and key facts about knowing how to tell the time.
French
Recently, the children have learnt the names of animals in French. If you have an animal at home, ask your child to tell you its name in French. Looking at pictures of animals is another way your child can share his/her knowledge of French animal names with you.
History
This week the children have found out about Alexander the Great and how he created one of the largest empires in the world and spread Greek culture from the Mediterranean to Asia. In our final lesson we will learn about what the Greeks have done to influence us today.
