English & Curriculum
During Curriculum we will be learning about
Watford now compared with 100 years ago.
Talk to your family and friends and find out
what has changed in Watford since they have
lived here. Research what Watford may have
looked like 100 years ago.
Please also practice your spellings in joined up
handwriting as we have been developing this
over the last few weeks.
We will continue to learn about Tinga Tales in
English and Art. Think about and describe the
setting you will use for your own story and
piece of artwork. Jot down some ideas ready to
share in class.
P4C
Maths
Would you rather be a giant or the same size as a
mouse?
We will be recapping areas that we have
learned throughout the year in the following weeks.
Log on to Mathletics and have a go at the activities
that have been set for you.
Remember to use the ? button if you need any help.
Reading
Please continue to read with your child
every day and ask them questions about what
they are going to read or have read. When they
answer your questions, ask them to prove it – find
where it says that in the story.
Challenge yourself and go up against other children
in Mathletics live.
Continue to practice your times tables every day
and if you become confident with your 2, 5 and 10
times tables, move on to your 3 times tables.
Reminder
Please ensure all PE kits, including trainers, are in school as soon as possible. Now that it is the
summer term we will be using the outside space a lot more so please make sure the children have
jumpers and trousers as well as shorts and t-shirts.
Please also make sure the children have their book bags every day and that they have their books as
we will change them at different points in the week. Don’t forget to write in the children’s link books
to let us know how they are getting on.
