Term 5 Week 4

In English this week, we are going to create a character description for the dragon in our class quest. We have already collected words and phrases from a book called ‘Tell Me a Dragon’ and used these to help us design our own dragon. Now we are going to use these words and phrases as well as the skills we have learned over the last few weeks to create an independent character description of the dragon.

In Maths, we are going to revisit and extend our understanding of addition. We will focus on revising all the different mental addition skills that we have learned so far and then explore the most efficient ways to use these skills. Finally, we will use and apply these skills to help us solve some reasoning problems.

In Time and Place, we are going to focus on the Norman Invasion of England. We will use a mixture of primary and secondary sources of information to find out about the events surrounding the invasion. We will then explore the importance of castles in the invasion and settlement of 11^th Century England.

We will also complete R.E, P.E, and Design and Art activities.

Term 5 Week 2

In English this week, we are going to continue to create character descriptions. We are going to revisit and utilise all the fantastic descriptive techniques we used last week to describe the Yeti! We will start by creating a shared piece of writing before each creating our own unique description of this terrifying character.

In Maths we are going to revisit Place Value. We will remind ourselves the different values that digits can have depending on their position in a number. We will then turn our attention to using this understanding to solve problems and complete reasoning activities. We will also focus our attention on 2D and 3D shapes.

In Science we will complete our scientific conclusions for the dissolving investigation we completed before Easter.

In R.E. we will continue to focus on Judaism. We will also complete P.E and Art and Design activities.

We are looking forward to another really productive week in Beech Class. If you would like to know more about any of the activities that we are doing this week or you need help with home learning, please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address.
