Summary of this week:

This week in Maths we have been consolidating our understanding of place value and have begun using our knowledge of the 5 times table to count in 50s up to 1000.

In English, we have been focusing on using conjunctions in our writing and the children have planned their first piece of innovated writing based on Splat Says Thank You!

In History, we have continued to learn about Bookham’s history and have been comparing how life here has changed for people in years gone by.

In Science, we have been learning about the role different parts of the human skeleton has and comparing these bones to the bones of different animals.

In RE, we have been thinking about miracles, specifically what a miracle could be and if they are possible.

In Reading, we have carried on familiarising ourselves with different fairy tale stories.

In PE, we have started our units on Football and Dance with Coach Jay and Mrs Line.

In D&T, our first lesson has been focused on learning about different foods, where they grow around the world and how we are able to import/export fruits all year round

Our learning next week:

In English, we will be writing our innovations and then planning our hot task (independent) writing.

In Reading, we will be starting to focus on a new text, the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin.

In D&T, our focus will be on seasonal foods and how and where they grow.

Homework

Please ensure homework is handed in by the Friday of each week.

Yellow reading records have now been sent home. Please log when you have been reading with your child and making any notes in their record book as necessary.

If children could keep their records in their bag so they go to-and-from school each day that would be incredibly helpful so we can log when they have been doing extra reading in school. Teachers will collect reading record books in on Monday’s during our library time to make any notes or logs ourselves.

Children will be starting to bring book banded reading books home. They are able to change these freely each morning when they come into school and any changes to your child’s reading levels will be logged in their yellow reading record.
