Term 4 Week 4

In English this week, we are going to focus on writing short sections of narrative. We are going to focus our attention on Chapter 3 of the class quest- the part of the story where Sir Jake tricks the Witch and turns the frog back into a prince. We will begin by creating simple sentences to retell the story and then move on to using conjunctions to add additional clauses. 

In Phonics, we are going to focus on using 'mb' to make the/m/sound. We will learn the tricky words famous and shoe. We will also learn how to use a dictionary to look up the meaning of words. 

In Maths, we are going to turn our attention to fractions. We are going to explore the concept of equal and unequal groups. Next, we will focus on how to recognise and find half of shapes, amounts and distances. 

In Time and Place, we are going to focus on the year 1066 and the battle for the English crown. We will look at the main claimants to the throne and explore the events surrounding the Norman invasion of Britain. 

We will also complete Number Fluency, Guided Reading, PE, RE and Design and the Arts activities as well. If you would like to know more about these activities please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address.
