Curriculum English This half term, our English work will be themed around the novel ‘Charlotte’s Webb’ by E.B. White. If you wish to purchase this book in order to support your child’s learning in this area, please do so.
Maths Our focus this half term will be fractions. We will be recognising fractions, finding equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, comparing fractions and finding fractions of amounts. We continue to learn in the style of Singapore Maths, developing mastery and problem solving. Please continue to support your children’s understanding of times tables.

May we remind you that the 12 o’clock mass on a Sunday at St. John’s is our family mass and Father McMahon loves to see the children there. It is a superb way to celebrate being part of our very special St. John’s family.
Topic Our topic this half term is a Design & Technology topic called ‘Moving Monsters.’ We will be exploring, designing, making and evaluating our own monster with a pneumatic system!
Science Our Science topic is ‘Light’. We will work scientifically on a variety of quick challenges and longer tasks to learn about the wonders of light, including reflections and shadows.
