Term 1 Week 7

In English this week, we are focusing on adding detail to the simple sentences we have written from the point of view of Samuel Pepys. We will focus on using adverbial phrases to add detail before writing sentences which show and tell the audience how Pepys was feeling. 

In Phonics we will be using the 'dge' and 'ge' graphemes to make the /j/ sound. e.g. edge, hedge, badge, bridge, change, large, orange, challenge. We will also be learning to spell the tricky words 'bought' and favourite'. Our grammar focus will be to use capital letter for proper nouns. 

In Maths, we will finish off our Place Value unit of work and begin our Addition and Subtraction unit. We will start by systematically finding all the possible number bonds to 10 and then using them to create families of related addition and subtraction calculations. 

In Science and Computing we are going to explore how material properties can be used to sort and categorise objects. We will also explore how to stay safe online and create a set of class rules for safe Information Technology usage. 

We will also complete Mastering Number, Guided reading, Design and the Arts and PE sessions as well. If you would like to know more about any of these activities, please do not hesitate to contact us directly using the class email address.
