Ok folks so here’s the plan of action for the week ahead.

Maths: We will continue to do a little bit of revision from P6, especially looking at our mental strategies and number work.

Language:

Reading – We will continue to read Think Me Back by Catherine Forde and use this to help us look at various reading strategies (especially predicting and questioning)

Writing – We will look to begin our baseline writing assessment. Remember to try your best and remember everything I’m looking for.

Topic – This term’s topic is World War 2. This week we will look at how the war started. I’ve been really interested in all of your stories so far. Remember to ask at home for any stories about your relatives during WW2.

Mrs M

P.E. Days are Tuesday and Thursday. Please make sure you have your gym kit on these days.

Please try to ensure you have soft shoes this week to wear in class.

We will be doing lots of personal reading. Feel free to bring in your own book from home if you would prefer.

We’ve spoken about the importance of homework. Please let me know in advance if you think there might be problems and we can sort them out.

I’ll use this blog to keep everyone up to date with what we’re doing in class. Hope you find it useful.

Mrs M
