Homework set: Thursday
Homework due: Tuesday
We are focusing on ensuring each child reads x3 per week – also reading to an adult 1:1 in class – along with structured guided reading/comprehension tasks. Your child will also receive a set of spellings each week – please practice writing these in a sentence also in order to gauge understanding of the meaning of each word, they can do this in their grey homework book.. Each child should log onto Times Tables Rock stars too.

As part of our developing understanding of why Wirral is a special place to live – we will be exploring the impact that the Roman’s invasion had to Britain and the areas surrounding the Wirral – especially Chester.
The Lady Lever Art Gallery are hosting an exhibition of Matisse prints from his ‘Drawing with Scissor’ period. To celebrate this we will be studying the artist, his life and works and learning some of the techniques he used.
Autumn Term Topic:
As part of our Science topic on Rocks, we will be exploring the development of the study of rocks, notable fossils by exploring the life of Mary Anning. Below is a link to to the knowledge organiser, maybe you would like to learn more about this extraordinary woman and her place in British and world history.
Below is a link that will let you explore Stonehenge – the children have loved investigating this magnificent monument, exploring different theories about why and how it was built.
Hopefully we will finish our individual cave art canvas pieces soon. The children have worked on this over several weeks, researching cave art, it’s meaning and its symbolism. They have practiced in their sketch books and created a sand covered canvas to add their final design to – we will add these to Seesaw soon!
I have high expectations for each and every child in my class – I am so excited to be a part of their learning journey in Pensby Primary School again!
