Here are some of the exciting things we will be learning this term…
Literacy
We will be continuing with our weekly spelling lessons, embedding the spelling rules throughout the week. The children will learn a new sound each week and complete tasks throughout the week that re-enforce this. Talk for Writing will also continue all grammar will be taught via Talk for Writing. Our text this term is called Kidnapped! An excellent story full of suspense and drama.
The children will continue with our Accelerated Reading program and this will be used for homework books as well.
Numeracy
In numeracy we will start by focusing on Place Value. We will then move onto Estimating and Rounding and then incorporating Addition and Subtraction.
Later in the term, we will focus on measurement and Multiplication and Division.
We will re-enforce these concepts through TTRS and through an excellent site called Corbett Primary Maths.
Health and Wellbeing
We will continue with our PATHS approach to teach social and emotional learning. We will be focusing on Mindfulness and Growth Mindset.
Miss McManus will take the class on a Monday afternoon for French and HWB.
BGE
We will be working on a project linked to Global Goal 10: Reducing Inequalities. We will also be looking at Digital Literacy, Cyber Resilience and Living Things. This term, Drama and Art will be our focus in the arts. We will also commence our popular IDL topic of WWII around the time of Remembrance Day, where we will investigate some poems written during both wars and understand the story behind the Poppy.
