Happy Friday all! 

We have completed our first full week of 2026! 

Homework 

CGP Books (Maths and English): TWO pieces per week. Maths - page 24 & Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling pages 16-17. Due in for Friday 23rd January. 

Reading 5 x 10-minute sessions a week aloud to an adult. Please record this in your reading record. 

Spellings: Weekly spelling practice and tests. Spelling tests are Mondays. The spellings will be available on the blog each Monday for the children to learn them at home over the week. You can also find them below on this blog post. 

Sumdog: Online maths practice to help us improve our skills. 3 x 20-minute sessions a week.

Home learning projects: Bridges (details below). Due 9th February. 

Home Learning Topic – Bridges Due w/c 9th February

Last term, the children learned all about bridges in D&T. For their new home learning project, I would like them to:

Design and build a bridge

Specifications:

• The bridge must span a minimum of 35cm

• It must be able to hold 400g

• We will be testing the bridges in class

There is no other homework set this week, so this is a great opportunity for the children to get started. Creativity is encouraged, and children can use any materials they choose.

PE Timetable Update

• Monday – 1 hour (full outdoor kit required)

• Wednesday – 30 minutes (trainers only)

• Thursday – 1 hour (full PE kit required)

Please ensure your child has the correct kit in school on these days so they can take part fully.
