All home learning will be set here every Friday and will be tested the following Friday.

Reading

Reading underpins all of our learning and development and is great for our imagination! Please read your book daily and to an adult at home regularly, recording all reading in your reading record.

History

Our History Project this term, ‘Dynamic Dynasties’, is all about the Ancient Chinese Shang Dynasty.  This week we have been archeologists and examined artefacts to record our observations about life in the Shang Dynasty. 

What evidence do these artefacts give you about life in the Shang Dynasty?  You can discuss it at home or write down your ideas to share in school!
