    Term 2 Week 4

    This week we are going to finish our versions of Samuel Pepys’ diary. We are going to consider interesting ways to end our writing, such as exclamation sentences, questions and responses. We will then set about transcribing a best copy of our writing to go into our topic books and be displayed around the school.

    In Maths we are going to turn our attention towards subtracting 2-digit from 2-digit numbers. We are going to explore the extent to which the expanded vertical method that we used last week can be applied to subtraction.

    We will also complete RE, Design and Art and PE lessons.

    Finally, we will start to rehearse our Nativity performance.

    If you have any questions or queries about our learning, please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address: beech@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk

    Term 2 Week 2

    This week for your home learning, we would like you to read the script for this year's nativity. We have attached a full version to this post. 

    We are also sending a paper copy of the script home on Wednesday. We have highlighted the lines that you need to learn in pink. 

    Please use this week to learn your lines. 

    Although the actual performances are not until December. We are going to pre-record some of the lines ahead of time. Our first audio-recording session is scheduled for Thursday 18th November. So please get learning your lines straight away!

    There will be more information with regards to dates, tickets and costumes closer to Christmas. 

    However, for the moment, we would really appreciate it if you could support this event by getting your child ready to confidently and fluently perform their lines. 

    If you would like some additional Home Learning sent home for your child this week, please do not hesitate to contact us directly via the class email address: beech@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk. We will do our very best to accommodate your needs. 

    Many thanks,

    The Beech Team.

    Term 1 Week 2

    In English this week, we are going to add interest and detail to the basic diary entries that we created last week. First, we are going to explore how adverbial phrases can be used to open sentences. Next, we will explore how we can show and tell the audience how Samuel Pepys might have been feeling on the night the Great Fire of London started. Finally, we are going to think about the next section of Pepys’ diary- when he steps out of his front door.

    In Maths, we are going to continue to focus on addition and subtraction. We will explore how the techniques we have already learned this term can be used to efficiently solve addition problems. Next, we will focus on using and applying our understanding of Place value to add two 2-digit numbers. We will focus on using base-ten manipulatives to support us with these calculations.

    In P.E. we will focus on developing the key throwing, catching and movement skills required to be successful when taking part in sports. In ICT, we will continue to explore the role that Information Technology plays in the wider world and explore ways to stay safe while using it.

    We will also complete R.E and Design and the Arts lessons as well.

    Term 2 Week 1

    In English this week, we will be placing ourselves into the shoes of Samuel Pepys and creating diary entries recounting the events of the Great Fire of London from his point of view. We will start by creating simple action sentences that retell the events. Then we will explore how a range of different adverbial phrases can be used to add detail to these basic sentences.

    In Maths, we are going to focus on subtraction problems. We will explore how taking away and partitioning can be used to solve subtraction problems that cross a 10s barrier. We will then use and apply these skills to solve a range of problems in context.

    In Time and Place, we will use the ‘Street Through Time’ resource to compare a modern street to a street from 1666. We will also focus on analysing primary sources of information to make historical discoveries about life in London in 1666.

    We will also complete PE, RE, and Design and the Arts lessons as well.

    If you would like to find out more about any of the activities that we will be working on this week, please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address: beech@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk
