In English and Communication this week, we are going to create character descriptions for the dragon in our class quest. We will use and apply all of the skills that we over the last two weeks to create these character descriptions.
In Phonics, we will be focusing on 'ture' making the /chure/ sound. Our grammar focus will be on creating questions, commands, statements and exclamation sentences. The tricky words we will be spelling this week are 'delicious' and 'fruit'.
In Guided Reading, we will be answering comprehension questions relating to In to the Woods by Anthony Browne.
In Maths, we will finish out work on multiplication and division by focusing on choosing efficient methods to complete multiplication and division problems. Then, we will turn our attention to measuring length and height.
In Science and Computing, we will use and apply the learning from last week about dissolving to complete a scientific investigation based around events from our class quest.
In Time and Place, we will compare and contrast different types of castles and attempt to use skills of historical enquiry to put castles into chronological order.
We will also be completing PE, RE, Number Fluency and Design and the Arts activities. If you have any questions about these activities or anything relating to your child's learning, please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address.

This week in English and Communication we are focusing on character descriptions. We will focus on the hero of our class quest- Sir Jake. We will take a modelled character description and design actions to help us retell it. Next we will focus on specific parts of the character description and create our own versions.
In Phonics, we will learn to spell th tricky words 'whole' and 'listen' and focus on adding 'er' and 'ed' to words ending in 'e'.
In Maths, we will continue to focus on Multiplication. We will use our understanding of equal groups and skip counting to solve multiplication calculations. We will also explore arrays and investigate the commutativity of multiplication.
In Science and Computing, we will complete our final Robot Programming session. We will use BeeBot floor robots to design, programme and debug algorithms.
In Time and Place, we will use non-fiction texts about Knights and Castles to help us write information sentences that demonstrate our understanding.
We will also complete Number Fluency, PHSCE, Guided Reading, Design and the Arts and RE activities as well.
If you have any questions or queries about these activities or any matters relating to the learning Beech Class, please no not hesitate to contact us via the class email address.
