Spring 4
Welcome to Spring 4!
Teachers: Mrs Begum and Mrs Bailey
We strive to make learning fun and sticky!
We are guided by our school vision—eyes wide open, arms outstretched, curious minds aiming high—we’ll work together to build a classroom where everyone feels valued and inspired. We look forward to sharing this journey with you and your families as we aim high and learn with open hearts and minds.
We have PE lessons every Monday and Friday, so children should come to school in their PE kits, ready to move, play, and develop their physical skills.
We are reading
The Night I Borrowed Time.
The Night I Borrowed Time by Iqbal Hussain is a time-travel adventure. Eleven-year-old Zubair, the youngest of seven brothers in a bustling Lancashire home, inherits his gran's mysterious amulet that allows him to time-travel. Hoping to fix his parents' marital troubles following a devastating car accident, he leaps into the past, only to discover that changing history has severe, unexpected consequences.

Homework is provided each week through the Emilie app, with a focus on maths and spellings to support key learning. Your child has been sent a login home in their reading records. If you experience any issues logging in or accessing the homework, please speak to Mrs Hill for assistance.

Reading
Reading for just 20 minutes a day at home can significantly boost a child’s vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence. When children read for pleasure, choosing books they enjoy, they’re more likely to develop a lifelong love of reading, which supports academic success and emotional wellbeing. Regular visits to the library are a great way to encourage this habit, giving children access to a wide range of books and helping them explore new interests in a fun, free, and welcoming environment.
Spelling
Each week, children will be sent home with 10 spellings to practise, all linked to a specific spelling rule being taught in class. To support learning, we encourage the "Read, Write, Cover, Check" method—children read the word, write it down, cover it, and then check to see if they spelled it correctly. This helps reinforce memory and accuracy.
Talk Task
Talk Task homework is designed to support your child’s “sticky knowledge”, the key facts and concepts they are learning in class that we want them to remember long-term. Each week, your child will be asked to talk through 3–4 facts they’ve been learning in school, helping them to reinforce understanding through discussion at home. This is an editor with sample data. Here, you can format text, insert links, and create organised lists to make your content stand out. Begin by exploring t
MTC
Multiplication is a top priority for us this year, in a few short months we will be completing the Multiplication Check. This is an online assessment of how fluent the children are in multiplication. They will be given 25 questions from across the times tables and have 6 seconds to answer each question. To help prepare your child, we ask you practise their times tables every day to ensure a a secure knowledge of them.
