Term 5 Week 5
Here is an outline of your learning for term 5, week 5:
Term 5 Week 5 – 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 practising words with the ‘inter’ prefix. We will also be recapping using prepositions in paragraphs.
We have now finished Lob and will be discussing our thoughts and feelings about the book in order to write a book review.
In English, we will be looking at the conventions of hero myths and identifying them in Beowulf.
In Maths, we will continue our unit on fractions by looking at counting beyond a whole.
In RE, our unit of focus is the exploration of the Hindu faith. This week we will be finding out more about some of the main gods and goddesses.
In History, we will be finding out about the archaeological discoveries made at Sutton Hoo. We will be thinking about what they can tell us about who was buried there.
In Science, we will move on from learning about teeth to the rest of the human digestive system. We will carry out some simple tests to understand the work of the salivary glands and the role of digestive enzymes.
In art, we will review our completed work for the typography and maps project.
PE is on MONDAY MORNING (Mrs Barter) and THURSDAY AFTERNOON (Mrs Tompsett).
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 on the following Monday.

Have a lovely week!
