Children will learn what life was like for the Ancient Maya civilization in Central America in History. We will learn about their (very complicated) number system, writing systems and calendar. As the Ancient Maya and the Anglo-Saxons were around at the same time but on opposite sides of the planet, we will draw comparisons between the two civilizations.

Reading at Home:
All children are expected to read regularly every week to an adult and have it signed in their planner by an adult at home. Every five reads earns a merit. When they have read 25 times, they will receive a golden ticket which will be placed in a prize draw at the end of each half term.
Home/School Planner:
Could you please ensure that your child brings their home/school planner in to school every day. Please feel free to write any comments in it.
Every Friday your child will bring their planner home which will have been signed by their teacher. This should be countersigned by the parent/carer and returned to school again on Monday morning. Children will receive a merit for planners that have been signed when returned on Monday.
