 Spellings will be handed out each Monday followed by a quiz on Friday.  

All children have access to TTRockstars (an online Maths App). Children should try to complete this every day. 

Reading books are being sent home and need to be brought into school everyday. Children should be reading every day, recording them in their reading records. 

Homework is set weekly, either on Google Classroom or via homework books.

PE

PE days can change depending on which group is having Forest School.

 

Monday: Years 3, 4, 5 and 6

Wednesday: Years 5 and 6.

After February half term, Forest School will be Years 3 and 4.

After Easter, Forest School will be Year 5 and 6. 

 

Children need to come in to school wearing their kit. Please make sure they have suitable clothes for the weather as the majority of PE will take place outside. 

 

What we are learning each week: 

 Timetable

Reading:

Reading is promoted and modelled to all our children throughout their time at school. Children will have a daily reading lesson where they will learn how to read fluently as well as make inference, predictions and retrieve key words or phrases to answer comprehension questions. As children encounter new vocabulary we will explore the definitions of these words within the context of the book and the effect this has on the meaning. Alongside daily reading lessons, we have a story after lunch every day to continue fostering a love of reading. 

English:

In English we will be using a range of books linked to the topic to inspire our writing. Each half term, we will focus on one fiction, one non-fiction and one poetry unit. At the end of each unit, the children will produce a piece of writing to go into their best writing file.

Maths:

We use the White Rose scheme which follows a mastery approach to Maths. All children have access to a range of manipulatives to promote their concrete understanding of abstract concepts. Alongside this we promote fluency within the 4 operations through an additional arithmetic lesson each week.

Topic:

We have a thematic approach to our learning and link our topic to the other subjects where possible.
