Project:

We are very excited to get stuck into our new project Titanic this half term. During this project we will become historians learning about the events of the historic Titanic. We will learn about the key events leading up to and during the sinking of the ship Titanic, plotting these events on a timeline. We will also be thinking about the impact that the sinking of Titanic had and the subsequent differences between then and now. Throughout this project, we will be applying our writing skills and historic knowledge to postcard writing. Through our PSHE focus, we will be thinking about who was to blame for the Titanic sinking. We will plan and write our own argument for a debate which we will present during our end of project outcome.

Home Learning:

In addition to the home learning sheets that will be sent home at the beginning of a new project, children are encouraged to read and practise their spellings at home.

Reading

Please read with your child as often as possible at home and record in their home school book which is checked daily. Each class has their own reading race where for every day a child reads at home they move their name up the chart. When a child has read 4 times or more over the week they are entered into a raffle to win a prize at the end of each half term. All children are encouraged to take part in our school wide reading challenge, which can be completed over the whole school year and can be found on the website.

Spelling

Children will receive a weekly list of spellings to learn at home. These will be sent home every Friday, commencing Friday 10th September and then checked in school the following Friday.

PE:

King Campus– Tuesday and Wednesday Kirk Campus- Monday and Friday

We will be continuing with the daily run, so please ensure that your child has suitable footwear to participate every day. PE kits will be sent home on a Friday to be washed for return on Monday.
