Reading
We have continued to consolidate a range of reading strategies throughout this term including predicting, clarifying, and questioning; with the new skill of concluding being introduced in the coming weeks. Each group has made progression within their book bandings and the pupils have continued to enjoy our class novel of “The Firework Maker’s Daughter”.
Writing
This term we have completed our block of writing around setting, experiencing many successes within this genre and enjoying some opportunities for group idea generation. We have now moved onto 1st person recount and will be focussing on how to express their emotions throughout their piece.
Numeracy
In numeracy, we have consistently revisited strategies from term 1 to ensure they remain fresh in our minds. Additionally, we have explored the use of fractions in relation to both shape and quantity. Our primary numeracy focus has been on multiplication and division strategies, and improving our times table fluency.
Social Subjects
Within our Energy and Sustainability topic we have investigated our carbon footprints and how to reduce them, the sources and importance of renewable energy, line drawings and social dance. Additionally, we have been practising our conversational French skills and learning how to describe the weather.
