Term 5 Information

Welcome to Topaz Class page

Hopefully as we move forward into term 5 the weather will start to improve, especially as we have a busy Sports Week planned. What ever the weather, we are looking forward to the dance festival at Kingsbury Green Academy during our first week back (we will need a few practices first), thank you to all those who have volunteered to take part, it is promising to be a great show.

Our topic for term 5 is based on the story of the Trojan Horse; is it fact or fiction? That is what we will hopefully find out. Another subject that has proved popular in previous years is our DT, this term we will be making (and tasting) biscuits- yum, yum! For more information about all our learning this term please see the attached topic web and letter.

This term we have included the maths 'Knowledge Organisers' for the whole year (scroll through to find the term 5 one which focuses on calculating with fractions), this will give you some idea of the areas of maths we are studying and the processes we use. Please continue with the times tables practise, quick recall of all times tables is essential for all maths work but particularly when fractions is a focus.

Thank you for all your reading support, the large amount of raffle tickets in our 'Reading' jar shows just how much the children are enjoying books with you at home. Well done to our termly winners, we hope they enjoyed their prizes. As we regularly say to the children, the more they read at home, the more tickets they win and the greater chance they have of winning a prize.

Keep up the great work in term 5
