Week Beginning 16th September 2019

September 17, 2019

English- Writing

We are continuing to work with Leon and the Place Between by Grahame Baker-Smith.

We will be thinking about the vocabulary and phrases in the story and using these to make our own writing more interesting. We will be using dictionaries to discover the meaning of new words.

We will also be thinking carefully about the structure of our text and how it fits in with a portal toolkit before planning our own stories based on Leon & the Place Between.

English- reading

We have started our whole class read: Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl.

We will also be learning some new reading skills as a whole class using ERIC. The children will build their repertoire of different reading skills through the year.

Maths 

We are continuing with the maths block: Number & Place Value.

This week we are

  • using place value charts to partition two-digit numbers
  • comparing objects
  • comparing numbers (using the symbols < less than, > greater than and = equals)
  • ordering numbers
  • counting in 2’s

History

We will be learning more about Amy Johnson. We will be thinking about her momentous journey and the type of equipment she would need to take with her.

Science

We will be starting to think about Materials and their uses.

ICT

We are awaiting ICT slots and will keep you posted ASAP ?

Music 

Mnistrings will start on Wednesday 18th September. More information will follow soon.

PE

Our PE slot is on Monday afternoon.

Please ensure all children have their full PE kit in school (fully named).

PSHE

We have introduced the children to a programme called Zones of Regulation which we are hoping will help regulate feelings and emotions and offer the children the correct way to talk about their feelings.

We have also continued to consolidate the school’s policy of Good to be Green and the 5C’s.
