Primary 5/4 Term 4 Update

This term we will be working hard on all our literacy skills. Looking at our reading, handwriting, and spelling. Getting ready to transition into our next year.
Our Talk for Writing text this term is ‘Is Plastic Fantastic’. We have been beginning to do some research into pollution and ways of reducing single use plastics. The class are going to be exploring new vocabulary to do with recycling. They will then be looking at writing an informative piece of writing.
In maths we have been working on building our confidence with our number work so far this term. Looking at different strategies for answering addition and subtraction calculations. We are going to be continuing this with multiplication and division. We will also be having a focus on problem solving and building up skills in this area.
Our topic for this term is ‘Inclusion in Society’. We have begun by looking at the definition of inclusion and how we are all different in our own ways, but we are all humans the same and deserve equal opportunities. We will go onto explore different ways people can be excluded and find strategies that we could do to stop this being the case.
In Science we have started learning all about the water cycle and will go onto explore water in its different forms.
Our PE days this term are a Monday and Tuesday, where we are going to be getting ready for sport day. We have also started looking at ball skills to begin our block of basketball.
