Autumn Term Class Information

Welcome back to a new and exciting year at Pen y fro Primary School. The year 4,5 and 6 topic for the Autumn Term is ‘We’ll Meet Again and the Swinging Sixties’ which focuses in on two contrasting decades from the twentieth century. The children will be involved in the planning of our topic work and we will use their ideas to form the basis of our studies. The work will link to the six areas of learning: Literacy, Languages and Communication, Mathematics and Numeracy, Science and Technology, Humanities, Expressive Arts and Health and Well-Being. We will also be learning in maths about place value and the number system, the four operations, decimals, data handling, ratio and coordinates. In science we will be studying electricity and magnetism.

For your information, PE lessons will take place on Thursday and Friday; please ensure that children bring an appropriate kit for PE days in a small bag.

Homework will continue to be issued on a Friday, via Teams, to be handed in the following Wednesday. As part of their homework children will be expected to write spelling sentences or a spelling story each week. The children will all be given a paper copy of their spelling words; the words can also be located in the files section of Teams. Spelling tests will continue to take place on Friday. Each week for homework there will be an additional task alternating between a maths task and a topic related task. We will also continue to use MyMaths for some of the maths homework activities. Children’s usernames and passwords will remain the same as last year, please let me know if you need the passwords. Each week a reminder of the homework activities will be posted on the chat function of Teams. The first homework will be issued on Friday 13^th September and will be spelling sentences and a homework grid task.

More information with regards to Autumn events and forthcoming clubs will be sent in the September newsletter when dates and arrangements have been confirmed. We are currently organising a school trip related to our topic, more details and arrangements will follow shortly.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued help and support.
