Topic
Autumn 1 - Changes in Time
Our Autumn 1 topic is changes in Time. This term, we will be exploring the question:
Does change away make life better?
We will be learning about how people, places and communities change over time from our own growth and wellbeing to the development of Cardiff during the Industrial Revolution and the change from Tiger Bay to Cardiff Bay.
Homework
The homework for year 4/5 will be weekly reading books matched to your child's reading level. Please support your child with their reading as often as possible and please asked them questions about the books being read.
Children will have Maths homework uploaded onto Sumdog which will relate to what they have been learning that week. Spellings will also be sent home every Friday for the children to practice.
