24th April
We’ve had a really good first week back and the children have been working really hard.
Our learning objectives this week are:
Maths – This week will be focussing again on time and will be telling the time to the hour and half hour and develop our understanding that the big hand is the minute hand and that the short hand is the hour hand. We will also be writing the time in words for example ‘half past six’. We will be using language relating to the days of the week and months of the year. We will also be comparing, describing and solving practical problems for time [for example, quicker, slower, earlier, later] and measure and begin to record time.
English – This week we will start our new unit of non-fiction writing and will be learning to write a non-chronological report on an insect. We will be asking questions about insects and record them using a question mark, identify the features of a non-fiction book, begin to recognise and use alphabetical order, use a non-fiction text to find information and pick out the relevant information and we will be solving riddles to discover the insect being described.
Science– Children will continue their animals and human science topic with Mrs Crooks.
PE- We will continue our throwing and catching within the game of Lacrosse. Children will also have a PE session on Wednesday with Miss Handley.
RE- We will start to learn about our new religion-Hinduism.
