Week Beginning 19th March 2018

March 15, 2018

Writing

We will be moving on to our new topic in literacy next week. Our focus will be on a losing tale where a character loses a precious item. We will be using Julia Donalsdon’s story Monkey Puzzle as a stimulus for our writing.

Here is an example of a losing tale toolkit. We will be keeping the middle part of the story the same and the children will be using the toolkit to innovate their own prequel and ending.

Reading

We are still really enjoying Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White.

Maths

We will be finishing off looking at 3D shape before moving on to fractions works.

The children will be consolidating and making links between equal and unequal groups (which we covered when we looked at multiplication & division) before investigating halves and quarters. There is a big emphasis on linking the parts of fractions to the whole.

We will be using lots of different representations including arrays and shapes but the children will also need to understand fractions of amounts.

PSHE

We will be continuing with our new module of Zippy’s Friends.

P.E

We are going to be doing athletics on a Monday and doing circuit training on Thursdays.

Science

We will be looking at the different foods that omnivores, carnivores and herbivores eat.
