Laurel
Some strange goings on investigating sustainable packaging materials in Science today!
Welcome Back Laurels - a fabulous week, thank you! I'm attaching the Anglo-Saxon/Viking topic overview. In Science and RE we'll be exploring evolution and the relationship between Science and Faith. I'm also attaching spellings for the term (we're revising the Year 3/4 word list). On the page there's a link to a glossary of grammar terms and maths methods.At present, homework will be 3 reads+, spellings with a test each Friday, a grammar sheet and 5 minutes of maths for each day in a booklet (Year 6 used these last year). We'll also be revising all the Times Tables and the ones we're looking at each week are written on to the spellings sheet which is stuck into your child's homework book. There's also some suggestions in there for fun ways to practise spellings We will mark homework in class on Fridays but the maths booklets do have the answers in too.Good luck! )
Key Stage 2 Grammar Glossary
I'm going to attach a copy of the calculation policy for St. Mark's (and indeed the whole locality) - it is on the site but, this way, you don't have to hunt for it - so parents and carers can see what we do (it's how they learnt it at school when you get to Year 5 and 6). Also, the SATS revision document a bit lower down on the page has links to top tips on different areas of Maths.
Below are a link to a SATS revision timetable that begins April 9th. It offers links to explanations that will be of use in the revision process. Additionally, I have attached copies of the Easter revision homework and answer sheets that your child will be given hard copies of.
Good luck!
