Times Tables

We have been preparing really hard for our times tables check, and now is the time to really show how hard you have all been working. The times tables check will be completed week commencing 10th June, so make sure that you continue to practice and work on your speed. Don't forget Times Tables Rock Star is a great way you can increase your knowledge but also improve your speed. Can you become a Rock Hero?

Topic

In Topic this term, we are going to be Geographers!

We are going to look at the question ‘Which countries are in Europe and what are they like?'

This is an exciting topic where we will explore different countries in Europe, looking at both physical and human features. We would love to fill our topic wall with pictures from different countries in Europe, if you have friends, family, or know anything about these countries it would be great for the children to bring them in and share with the class.
