Term 2 Week 1
Here is an outline of your learning for term 2, week 1
Term 2 Week 1 – overview
Reading challenge – we have made a visual display to track our home reading. Each week when reading records are checked, every child who brings their record (completed with their weekly reading) will earn a star. Remember that 10 minutes' of reading each day makes a huge difference to overall literacy and especially expanding vocabulary!
Our ukulele lesson with Mr Lawrence will be on Monday morning. Ukuleles are provided by school.
Spelling and grammar –we will be learning words with the prefixes dis- and mis-. We will continue to work on using pronouns.
In English, we will be editing and correcting our own versions of Escape from Pompeii. We will work in pairs to check spellings and ensure that we have achieved the targets we set at the beginning of the writing task. We will then write neat versions of our stories, design and create front and back covers for our books and will then enjoy putting them in our reading area!
In Maths, we will be adding 4 digits with no exchange, before moving on to 1, 2 and more than 2 exchanges. We will then move on to subtracting with no exchange.
In guided reading we will start our next text, The Iron Man, by Ted Hughes. This text will introduce readers to more challenging vocabulary and imagery.
In RE, our new unit of focus is ‘Incarnation’ and we will be considering the big question, ‘What is the Trinity?’ We will be learning about the different accounts of the Gospel.
PE is on MONDAY MORNING and THURSDAY AFTERNOON with Mr Luckhurst.
Reading records have been sent home with most children choosing a book from the selection in class or from the reading scheme. All children have an additional book in their tray for reading sessions in class. Please could we have reading records in school to be checked on Tuesday and Friday mornings.
Homework will be issued this Wednesday and is due in on the following Monday.
Please contact me if you have any queries using the class email address:chestnut@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk
Have a lovely week!
Best wishes,
Mrs Barter
