Mrs Ferguson’s P5b class
Topic
Our topic in Term 3 is Brilliant Bodies. We are going to read the book, Kay’s Anatomy by Adam Kay, which is a non-fiction book, written in the style of the Horrible Histories series. We will be using the novel for weekly comprehension questions and also some writing tasks. We will be looking at areas such as body systems, skin, the brain, food and exercise and other areas!
Friday 28th February – we made Skeletons out of things we collected from outside!
PE
Gym is on a Tuesday morning. Miss Roy will teach gym and asks that all pupils come to school on a Tuesday with suitable gym kit on. Whilst gym will mostly be inside in the gym hall, pupils should come with a suitable jacket in case gym is outside.
Homework
Homework will be issued on a Wednesday and should be done by the next Monday. Homework to be done will be uploaded to this website. There will be a mixture of language, maths and other tasks linked to, for example, Topic, French or Health. These will consolidate our learning in class.
Reading will usually be issued on the Monday, to be done for the next Monday. Please take time to read with your child and encourage good pace and expression, as well as helping them with any difficult vocabulary or punctuation. Please sign their Reading Record, so I can track that children are doing their reading.

Extra Information
Language – Spelling
Some parents have been asking about spelling practice. Children can practise spelling using Doorway Speller and / or Spelling Training.com. Here are some documents that give the first 300 high frequency words, if you feel practice at home is needed:
Here is how to access the spelling websites:
Doorway
*Do an online search for Doorway Speller https://www.doorwayonline.org.uk/
*Click on Literacy, choose Speller2
*Hit Enter and Next. Each pencil colour gives increasingly difficult words to practise.
Spelling Training
*Parents can insert words into the boxes and children can practise by playing games.
Thank you!
Mrs Ferguson
