Week beginning 25th February

February 25, 2019

Welcome back! We hope that you have had a wonderful half term.

Writing

We will be spending the first part of this week finishing and up-levelling our non-chronological reports.

After that, we will be moving onto our new unit: losing tales. We will be using Julia Donaldson’s Monkey Puzzle as a stimulus for our writing. It is a story based on a monkey who loses his mum and enlists the help of a beautiful butterfly to help him.

We will be covering lots of SPaG objectives throughout this unit. These include: looking at silent letters (e.g knees), investigating rhyming words, identifying commands, suffix words and much, much more.

Reading

Our new class read is yet to be confirmed.

Maths

We will be continuing our work on fractions. We will be recognising one third before moving onto finding one third of an amount or shape. When finding one third we can divide the whole into three equal parts. If a shape has been split into 9 equal parts, we would find one third of 9 by dividing 9 by 3. One third of 9 is therefore 3. We can represent this in a bar model.

History

We are looking at the Race to Space.

Science

We will be continuing our work on plants.

We will have PE with the students from Archbishop Tennison’s for one final week. After, we will be using the Real PE scheme of work.
