Our text this half term is...

Can we save the tiger? by Martin Jenkins

Tigers are big, beautiful and fierce. But, like many other animals, they are in danger of becoming extinct. With breathtaking illustrations this picture book tells us about the threats to the many endangered species on our planet and the need to prevent their extinction.

Our theme question is...

                  How can people around the world protect the future of the planet?

Useful Information

Please send your child in with a named water bottle, so it can be refilled during the day from our water dispensers

Homework

Homework is currently being set on 'Dojo'. Please contact us on Dojo, if you have any questions about this.

PE Days

Our PE lessons will take place on Monday afternoons. After Christmas, our PE day will be changed to a Friday.

For PE, please ensure that your child comes into school in the correct PE kit:

-trainers

-coloured t-shirt to represent your child's team

Reading books and reading records should be brought to school everyday. Please try to listen to your child at home as frequently as possible. The chidlren are working towards their 'Strive for 5' each week. If they have had their reading record signed 5 times in a week, they will be awarded Dojo points.

All children have a username and password for Mathletics. Please encourage your child to login in as often as possible from home.
