If you read atleast three times per week, you will earn a certificate. There will be a prize for the person who reads the most books! We complete shared reading lessons 3 times per week - we do something called VIPERS which stands for Vocabulary, Inferance, Predictions, Explainations, Retrieval and Sequencing or Summarising. This is to promote the different skills that are needed to enjoy and understand the life skill of reading. I will organising a Book Swap Day this will be an day were you can bring in a book and swap - this is a good way of reading different types of books for free! More details will follow throughout the year. I will organise more readathon sessions when we invite our families to read together as this proved popular last year.
- Times tables: TT Rockstars - your login details are in your homework book - keep practising your timestables and be the best at your multiplying and dividing skills. I will be setting up challenges against other classes - I know you will try your very best.
- Homework: Reading, spelling and multiplication activities on TT Rockstars. I will also be setting you projects to do at home and you will be given longer to work on this - let your imagination and creativity skills go wild! You could chose what you would like to do, More details will be sent out later on in the term.

Our next class books are called This Morning I Met a Whale by Michael Morpurgo and Big Blue Whale by Nicola Davies, we will be working in English lessons on these books and I have no doubt you will love the story and you will learn about whales this half term.
At sunrise, young Michael spots a whale on the shores of the Thames and thinks he must be dreaming. But the creature is real and it has a message for him – one that only an open-minded child can deliver to the rest of the world. The whale warns that the earth’s days are numbered and that humans must put right the damage they are doing, but how can Michael fulfil his promise to tell others when neither his teacher nor his classmates will believe his story? Within hours, the city and the wider world have learned of London’s remarkable visitor, and all eyes are on the whale’s struggle against the receding tide. Michael must now join his new friend in a race against time to reach the ocean, and hold fast to his promise in the race to save the world itself.
The blue whale is the biggest animal that has ever lived on Earth. Curious young minds will love reading this sensuous exploration of what a blue whale feels, sounds and smells like, and learning facts about a whale's size, life-span, diet, babies and more.
Our Class Reading Book is: The Boy who Grew Dragons by Andy Shepherd - we are still enjoying reading this book - it is a funny book, we would recommend it!
Tomas unexpectedly becomes the guardian of some freshly hatched fire-breathers when dragon fruit starts appearing on his grandad's tree in Shepherd's utterly enchanting, laugh-out-loud and heartwarming story.
We will also be using this book as a shared reading book and will be having VIPERs work on it on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
We are also learning about Stone age in our shared reading sessions - we have learnt lots of facts so far. We are finding it very interesting, going back in time.
