Our learning this week…
Phonics
At Howard Primary School we have adopted Read Write Inc Phonics.
RWI is a method of learning centred round letter sounds and phonics, and we use it to aid children in their reading and writing. Read Write Inc., developed by Ruth Miskin, provides a structured and systematic approach to teaching literacy. It is used by more than a quarter of the UK’s primary schools and is designed to create fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers.
Using RWI, the children learn to read effortlessly so that they can put all their energy into comprehending what they read. It also allows them to spell effortlessly so that they can put all their energy into composing what they write.
When using RWI to read the children will:
- Learn 44 sounds and the corresponding letter/letter groups using simple picture prompts
- Learn to read words using Fred Talk
- Read lively stories featuring words they have learnt to sound out
- Show that they comprehend the stories by answering questions.
Five key principles underpin the teaching in all Read Write Inc. sessions:
Purpose – know the purpose of every activity and share it with the children, so they know the one thing they should be thinking about
Participation – ensure every child participates throughout the lesson. Partnership work is fundamental to learning
Praise – ensure children are praised for effort and learning, not ability
Pace – teach at an effective pace and devote every moment to teaching and learning
Passion – be passionate about teaching so children can be engaged emotionally.

Hold a sentence is an activity that encourages children to remember a whole sentence while focusing on spelling and punctuation.
Build a sentence is to give children the opportunity to create their own sentence to that shows the meaning of a word and edit a sentence allows the children to critique a sentence using their knowledge of spelling punctuation and grammar. Children complete a longer piece of independent writing, which gives them the opportunity to show off their creativity and to practice their spelling, grammar and punctuation.

English
We will also be using The Power of Reading scheme. We will be basing our literacy work based on a core text. This core text is called The Wild by Emily Hughes.
Other books by Emily Hughes include:
This week we will create non-chronlogical reports about bears.
Eventually the children will write their own non chronological report about brown bears.
A non-chronological report is a non-fiction report which is not written in time order. A non-chronological report is focused on a single topic and includes various facts about this topic.
Examples:
On Monday we will look at features of a non-chronological report and we will locate these features on different report types.

Maths – Shape
To describe 3D shape according to faces
To describe 3D shape according to vertices
To describe 3D shape according to edges
To describe 3D shapes and find different ways to sort them
To investigate how polygons can be joined and folded to form 3D shapes
To describe 3D shapes according to their faces
Faces are the flat or curved surfaces that make up the outside of a 3D shape.
To understand that polygons can be named according to the number of edges
An edge is where two faces meet. For example a cube has 12 edges, a cylinder has two and a sphere has none.
To understand that polygons can be named according to the number of vertices
A vertex is a corner where edges meet. The plural is vertices. For example a cube has eight vertices.
To sort 3D polygons according to sides and vertices
To discuss, and compare by direct comparison, the shape and size of polygons
