Summer Term 2

This half-term we will be covering:

  • Geography: Local Study, Fieldwork 
  • Science: Electricity 
  • DT: Electrical systems
  • Music: How does music connect us with our environment?
  • RE: Why do some people think that life is a journey and what significant experiences mark this?  
  • PSHCE: Being safe
  • Spanish: Consolidation 
  • Computing: Repetition in games, coding 
  • PE: Swimming, Forest School 

Each Friday one of the following activities will be set online:

  • My Maths
  • Spag.com
  • TT Rockstars

 

Alongside the online activity will be the following:

  • Reading (school diary signed 3 times for a merit)
  • Spelling (see below)
  • Learning times tables 

Spelling lists of 10 spellings, following a set rule, will be given out each week. Each list will be given out and placed in reading diaries to learn by the following week. One way of learning the spellings can be using their Spelling Shed account. 

 

Most of the lists, aside from when we cover the Year 3 and Year 4 statutory words lists, have an extra 'super speller' challenge to think of three extra words that follow the same given rule to learn. If the children can spell the extra words correctly in their spelling text they can gain a merit!
