English

In English this week, we have been writing poetry. We started the week off by listening to Michael Rosen’s ‘I was born in the Stone Age’. We then wrote our own rhyming poem inspired by the Stone Age.

Next term we will be starting off by creating a non-fiction article all about robots.

 

Maths

Our Maths learning this week has been focused on bar charts and pictograms. We have been collecting data using tally charts or tables and then creating pictograms and bar charts from this data.

Next term we will be learning about addition and subtraction.

 

Thematic

In our thematic learning this week we have been learning about Judaism in RE. We have discussed Jewish beliefs, including the 10 commandments, the Torah and have learnt about why Jerusalem and the synagogue are special places for Jewish people.

Next term we will start the term off with our personal development focus for the first week before moving onto our new thematic topic ‘Feel the force, see the light’.

 

Homework

- Please read with your child at least 3 times a week.

- Children have now been given their log-in details for Times Table Rock Stars. They should be playing this at least 3 times a week to build their confidence and fluency with times table knowledge.

- Children have been given a ZPD to help them identify the correct books for their reading level. Once your child has read their book, they will need to complete a quiz on it before getting a new one. These quizzes can be done either in school or at home on Accelerated Reader using the log-in codes found in their reading records.
