Term 4 Week 1

Thank you for your continued enthusiasm and engagement in the work set. Here is an overview of the learning for this week.

This week we have some live registration and teaching sessions planned and a story time on Tuesday. Please see the ParentPay message sent out on Friday before the holidays for details of how to access the sessions:

Monday 8:50am Live Registration, leading into our English Lesson for the day

Tuesday 8:50am Live Registration, leading into our Maths Lesson for the day

Tuesday 2:30pm Story time

Wednesday 8.50am Live Registration, leading into our English Lesson for the day

Thursday 8:50am Live Registration, leading into our Maths Lesson for the day

If, for any reason, your child is unable to attend any of these live sessions, please contact us using the class email address (willow@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk). 

Reading - please try to read for at least 20 minutes per day. If you need more reading books please contact us via the class email address and we will try to help you.  Remember you can also access books online through the Oxford Owl Website (Username: willow101    Password: pupil).

In Phonics this week, we will be learning about different ways of making the ‘ai’ sound. We will be revisiting ‘ai’, ‘ay’ and ‘a-e’ digraphs and will be learning about words where ‘ei’ and ‘eigh’ make this sound.  Activities will be set daily to help you practise.

In English we will be doing activities around the story of Supertato by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet. This week you will be asked to write some character descriptions and sequence the story using time connectives. More details of each day’s activities will be sent via the class blog.

In Maths we are continuing to learn about numbers up to 50. Activities this week will cover counting in 2s and 5s. We will also revisit counting in 10s.

We will also set wider curriculum activities during the week. This will include RE (Monday), Art (Tuesday), Topic (Wednesday) and PE/Science (Thursday).

This term there is a slight change and no English or Maths learning activities will be posted on the blog. Instead, a series of hands-on activities/challenges will be offered to allow pupils the chance to complete some practical tasks to broaden their educational experience. Friday will also act as a chance for pupils to catch up with learning tasks or activities that they were unable to complete during the week.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any help or support.
