Our learning.

 

English - Much for our english work will be based around Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. We will also be writing war poetry and an extended piece of narrative writing. In addition to this, we will be developing our reading comprehension skills and deepening our understanding of word classes and sentence types in our SPaG work.

Maths - To start the half term we will be focussing on fractions and finding fractions of amounts. We will also be exploring place value in integers less than 1 and adding and subtracting decimal numbers. In addition to this we will be continue to develop our mental arithmetic skills.

Science - Light.

RE - What is it like to be a Muslim living in the UK today?

PSCHE - RSE. More information to follow.

Geography - Climate Zones.

DT - Food technology unit.

Computing - Webpage creation and online safety every Wednesday in our Project Evolve sessions.

Spanish - School subjects.

PE - Wednesday - indoor PE.  Tuesdays - outdoor PE.

Homework.

 

Homework will be set weekly on a Friday. It will then need to be in school the following Friday or before.

A piece or English or maths will be set each week. It maybe a paper based task or an online activity. Paper based activities will be stuck into homework books.

 

15.11.24 - 4 x 2 digit multiplication. Children only need to complete the first 12 questions. I have put the document as an electronic version in the homework documents section below. The document includes the answers on the third page. Children should mark their answers every few questions to see if they are on track or spot their mistakes to avoid making them in the questions that follow.

 

04.10.24 SPAG.COM - Subordinate Clauses and Conjunctions. This builds on learning we have done over the first few weeks of the school year. If time allows, children could also write some sentences with subordinate clauses in remembering the punctuation! Logins available from class teachers if needed.

 

20.09 My Maths - Place Value This will consolidate what we have been learning in our maths lessons this week. 

 

Reading - Children are expected to read 3 times a week either to an adult or to themselves.  This needs to be recorded in the children's planners. Planners and reading books need to be in school every day.  Children will be rewarded for reading three times each week with merits and entry into the reading raffle.

Timestables - These are vital to progress in maths.  Children are expected to practice tables using TT Rockstars at home regularly.

Spellings - These are set each Friday and then tested the following Friday. Again, these are vital to children's progress in English and in improving their vocabulary and quality of their writing.

Spellings.

All children will be given a copy of this overview in the first week of term. It will be stuck into their planners.

Some children will be given personalised spellings in the first full week back.

Weekly spelling lists for MOST pupils.
