Term 3 Week 6 – overview

Spelling and grammar – we will be consolidating spelling words from this term.

In English, we will be writing information texts on the water cycle, combining the scientific knowledge we have gained, and the language features specific to this genre.  We will be using fronted adverbials, time connectives and rhetorical questions.

In Maths, we will work on our second multiplication and division unit.  This week will involve using related multiplication and division facts, informal multiplication methods and the formal method of multiplying 2 digits by 1 digit. .  On Thursday we dedicate time to working on our personal times tables targets.  Regular, short burst practise at home will really support this.  Each week, pupils are progressing towards their personal targets which is very encouraging.

In RE, we will be designing cards linked to our understanding of John’s explanation of the incarnation.

In geography, we will be finding out about some of the key features of each continent.

This week, we will complete our final still life paintings based on the work of Giorgio Morandi.

PE is on Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon.  This term we focus on gymnastics and fitness.

Reading records will be sent home, with free-reading children choosing a book from the selection in class or bringing one from the reading scheme.  All children have an additional book in their tray for reading sessions in class.  Please could we have reading records in school to be checked on Tuesday and Friday mornings.  

Please contact me if you have any queries using the class email address:
