Please make sure your child is secure in their 3 times tables. Then learn 8 times tables from 6×8 up to 12×8. Please also ensure that your child is doing Times Tables Rockstars three times a week for at least five minutes.

In maths we have been looking at division by sharing and grouping. We will then move on to the 4 times tables and how we can use this when multiplying and dividing.

In RE this week, we are learning about the beginning of the mass and the importance of saying sorry. Next week will continue talk about Reconciliation and the role it plays in Catholic life.

DT
Over the next few weeks, we will be making our own moving vehicles. This week we will be looking at how wheels and axles work and the children will write the method for building their vehicles. Once the children have fully designed their vehicles, they will need to bring in the relevant junk modelling materials to enable them to build their vehicle.
