  • Spelling Home Learning

    Published 17/10/21, by Charlie Mackinnon

    For your spelling home learning this week we have set the same spelling home learning that was set two weeks ago. It seems that not everyone has had enough time to learn these spellings, so we have delayed the spelling quiz by a week. Our spelling quiz will now take place on Wednesday 20th October. 

    Here is the link to follow: 

    https://app.sirlinkalot.org/ 

    Here are the login details that you need: 

    Our Login is: St Barnabas Kent
    Code: 7DHTARK6MS2

    The first spelling bundle that we are working on is as follows. 

    You can test your own progress on these spelling words by using the test function on the app.

  • This Week's Learning

    Published 01/10/21, by Charlie Mackinnon

    Term 1 Week 5

    In English this week, we are going to continue and complete our pieces of writing in which we used compound and complex action sentences to explain the events of a part of the Quest story. We will also introduce the '1666- Fire and Ice topic'. We will place the year 1666 into chronological context and consider the question- What was it like to live in London in 1666? We will use information texts and artefacts to help us make historical discoveries and we will use mind-maps to help use record our thinking.

    In Maths, we are going to spend some time reviewing the Place Value learning that we have completed so far this term. We will also extend our understanding to include place value grids, unmarked number-lines and more complex part-whole models.

    In P.E. we will continue to develop our gymnastics and football skills. In Science and Computing, we will explore how Information Technology can be used in the school and wider world.

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

    If you have any questions or would like to know more about any activity detailed in this post, please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address: beech@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk

  • This Week's Learning

    Published 26/09/21, by Charlie Mackinnon

    Term 1 Week 4

    In English this week we are going to focus on using conjunctions to create compound and complex sentences. We will take some of the simple sentences that we created last week and consider how the and/but/so/because conjunctions can be used to add additional clauses in order to add detail to these sentences. Next, we will use these skills to write short paragraphs detailing the events of parts of the ‘Quest’ narrative.

    In Maths, we are going to focus on using and applying our understanding of place value to solve problems involving the <> and = symbols. Next, we are going to use our understanding to solve a series of reasoning problems.  

    In Science and Computing, we are going to explore the role that Information Technology plays at school and indeed in the wider world.

    In R.E. we will continue to focus on Creation and in P.E. we will continue to develop our Gymnastics and Football skills.

    In Design and the Arts, we will continue to work with clay to create sculptural forms.

    If you have any questions or would like more information about any of the activities that we have detailed in this post, please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address: beech@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk
