January News

What a busy start to 2026! The children came back refreshed and ready to learn after their Christmas holidays! 

In English, we have written excellent persuasive advert scripts linked to the Iron Man. The children were enthusiastic about recording their ‘radio’ adverts on to the I Pads. We are now working on writing rhyming poems inspired by the Roald Dahl poem ‘The Crocodile and the Dentist’. In reading lessons, we are enjoying reading ‘The Abominables’ by Eva Ibbotson. 

In Maths, we have focused on column additions and subtractions, working hard to master the tricky exchanges needed. We are now extending our learning about fractions. 

We had an exciting time on DT Day when we learnt more about structures. We designed, made and evaluated some wonderful castles.

In Music, we had fantastic fun learning pentatonic scales on glockenspiels  to help us to get ready to write our own dragon dance music to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

We have also begun to learn about the Romans in history and are really looking forward to our visit to Segedunum next week!
