Welcome to the Summer Term! This term, we are reading Treason by Berlie Doherty. Will Montague is a page to Prince Edward, son of King Henry VIII. As the King's favourite, Will gains many enemies in Court. His enemies convince the King that Will's father has committed treason and he is thrown into Newgate Prison. Will flees Hampton Court and goes into hiding in the back streets of London. Lost and in mortal danger, he is rescued by a poor boy, Nick Drew. Together they must brave imprisonment and death as they embark on a great adventure to set Will's father free.

Our Science enquiry this half-term explores animals including humans.

Our History enquiry is ‘How important were the Tudors to British History?’

In Maths, we will be focusing on Geometry and Position and Movement.

Your child will have come home with a love of reading book and a learning to read book, they should be recording in their reading log frequently. Children should be encouraged to read at home daily and to log this. You can add comments to their reading log so that we can see what they have been reading, and how they have been getting on with reading at home.

Your child also has a TT Rockstars login and should be practising their times tables little and often.
