Term 4 Week 1
Here is an outline of your learning for term 4, week 1:
Term 4 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 will take place on Tuesday morning with Mr Lawrence.
Spelling and grammar –we will be learning words with ‘tion’ endings and using prepositional phrases.
We will be reading, discussing and answering questions about our new guided reading text, Lob. Lucy has now lost track of Lob since Granny moved from Clunny Cottage. She is starting to question whether she ever saw him or not….
In English, we will finish planning our rainforest stories based on The Great Kapok Tree. We will then start writing with a focus on creating a vivid setting.
In Maths, we will move onto our second unit on multiplication and division. We will be looking at multiplying by and dividing by 10 and 100.
In RE, our new unit of focus is ‘Salvation’ and we will be considering the big question, ‘Why do Christians call the day Jesus cried Good Friday?’ This week, we will be recapping on the events of Holy Week before focusing specifically on Maundy Thursday, Peter’s denial and Judas’ betrayal.
In Geography, we will be locating and naming European countries and capital cities.
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
