**Working from home in the case of school closure.**
We understand that the UK is experiencing a period of uncertainty around school closure during the Covid-19 outbreak. Should the Government take the decision to close schools, here are some activities that your child can access at home.

White Rose Maths, the scheme that we us in school, has released some videos and work to do at home. The children will recognise these. They have started with years 1 and 2 with a couple of videos but do check back regularly for more. https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/

This half term our topic is: Farms. This is a geography based topic. the children will get to know the 4 countries that make up the United Kingdom and how they are similar and different.
In English we will be reading both fiction and non fiction books based on our topic. Children will also be learning about different aspects of grammar e.g. sentence types: statements; questions, exclamations and commands and how to join sentences using different conjunctions, e.g. and, so, if, but, when and because.
In Maths we will continue to develop our counting skills to 100 and beyond, not only forward and backwards in 1s, but also in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s. Part of this will relate to being able to quickly derive facts associated with the 2s, 5s and 10s times table but it will also link to the operations of multiplication and division and solving problems involving these. The children will have the opportunity to further practise and consolidate last term's work on fractions, in addition to understanding simple equivalent fractions. Work will also continue on measures, in particular length and capacity as well as money and time.
In Science we will be learning about life cycles.
In RE we will learn about Places of worship.
In Art we will be looking at colour, landscapes and texture.
There are 24 children and 2 adults (myself and Mrs Fawcett) in Class 3. Mrs Watts also teaches on a Tuesday afternoon while I am released to do my planning time.
If you are have not already done so, please take the time to sign up to Class Dojo. This is where I will post weekly and sometimes daily updates about life in Class 3.
