Literacy

This term we are reading our class novel, Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl. Lots of our literacy activities will focus on this wonderful text including characterisation, predicting what will happen next and answer comprehension questions using evidence from the text.

We will also continue to learn a new joined/split phoneme each week using diacritical marking and elkonin boxes.

Numeracy

The focus for our learning at the beginning of Term 1 will be place value. We will be reciting, sequencing, partitioning and talking lots about numbers beyond 1000. We will be taking part in lots of practical activities to demonstrate our understanding.

We will also be exploring data handling, learning about bar and line graphs. We also will be categorising information using Carroll diagrams.

Health and Wellbeing

This term our PE days are Monday and Thursday. Please come dressed for PE on these days. No jewellery can be worn to PE. We are going to develop our skills in athletic activities, working co-operatively with our classmates. These activities will focus on run, jump and throw skills.

We will be developing our class charter in line with UNCRC and our Rights Respecting School status. We will be having lots of discussions about  our school values and how we can demonstrate these across all aspects of school life.
