Term 6 Week 2– overview

Our SPORTS DAY is on Thursday.  We hope to see you there!

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) they will earn a star.  Remember that 10 minutes reading each day makes a huge difference to overall literacy and especially expanding vocabulary!

We will have our usual Monday morning ukulele lesson with Mr Lawrence.

Spelling and grammar – we are learning to spell words with the prefixes un dis in re sub inter super anti and auto.  We will also be consolidating our prior learning on subordinate conjunctions and adverbs.

In English and maths, we will be carrying out assessments to review our progress before the end of the school year.

In guided reading we will be continuing our text, Varjak Paw by SF Said.  It is a mysterious tale set around a family of Mesopotamian Blue cats……

In RE our unit of focus is ‘How do Hindu people worship and celebrate?’  We will be learning about worship at home which is called Puja.  

Mrs Atkinson will be teaching Science on Monday afternoons.  This term’s topic is habitats.

In History, we will be learning about the Anglo-Saxons.  This week we will be learning about features of everyday life.

PE is on MONDAY MORNING with Mr Luckhurst.  Swimming is on Friday.

Reading records have been sent home with most children choosing a book from the selection in class.  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 a Wednesday morning.  

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
