Room 13<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This term, we will be developing a range of important skills across the curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n In <\/span>Literacy<\/span><\/strong>, our focus will be on <\/span>Listening and Talking<\/span>, particularly during personal talks. Pupils will work on key skills such as speaking clearly, maintaining eye contact, and using an appropriate volume to engage their audience. In <\/span>writing<\/span>, we will be developing imaginative pieces, with a strong focus on structure (beginning, middle, and end), as well as using speech marks and descriptive language such as adjectives. Pupils will work towards producing a final creative writing piece to showcase these skills.<\/span><\/p>\n In <\/span>Numeracy<\/span><\/strong>, learning will be active and practical. We will explore <\/span>measurement<\/span>, including length, weight, and volume\/capacity, as well as introducing <\/span>perimeter and area<\/span>. Pupils will also learn about <\/span>time<\/span>, including reading and converting between 12-hour and 24-hour time, and applying this knowledge through real-life contexts such as using timetables.<\/span><\/p>\n Our <\/span>IDL<\/strong> topic<\/span> this term is <\/span>The Victorians<\/span>, which we have already chosen together as a class. Pupils will take ownership of their learning by exploring areas they are most interested in. These may include Victorian housing, famous people, schools, inventors, and clothing. A range of activities\u2014such as research, discussions, and creative tasks\u2014will help bring this period in history to life.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Teacher: Louise Thomson (M-Th), Mr McCracken (Fri) Room 13 This term, we will be developing a range of important skills across the curriculum.
