Current Topic - Term 4
This term, our English lessons will centre around our new class novel 'Holes' by Louis Sachar. We will explore the text in depth and produce our own explanation writing, as well as character and setting descriptions. Towards the end of the term, we will also compare and contrast the book with its film adaptation. Alongside this, we will continue to strengthen key reading skills, including retrieval, inference, vocabulary clarification and summarising with evidence whilst studying Holes and a variety of other texts.
In mathematics, we will be moving on to some exciting new areas of learning, focusing on ratio and algebra. In history, the children will continue to learn about influential theorists in the study of evolution: Charles Darwin and Mary Anning.
We are certainly looking forward to a busy and productive few weeks ahead.
Reminders and Routines
- Children should be reading at least 5 times a week - please ask them to tell you what they are reading about.
- Children should be practising their time tables - including the related division facts. This could be done using Time Tables Rockstars.
- Children should be learning their spellings every day so that they are known "for life".
- When they come to school, they need to bring a water bottle.
- Take time during the week to complete their homework - they will get a piece of Maths and English each week. You can always check what homework has been set by looking in Google Classroom.
PE Days - Term 4
PE will take place on a Monday and Tuesday (Children should come to school dressed in their PE Kit.)
