Term 5

Welcome Back!  We hope you had a wonderful Easter break.  This term we look forward to taking our learning outside as much as possible as we explore planting in Science, 'Our Country' in Geography and photography in Computer Science.

This term we will read Wild by Emily Hughes, Olivers Vegetables by Vivian French and study a short film from the Literacy Shed called 'Partly Cloudy'.  In writing, the children will continue to work on their understanding and use of adjectives, verbs and nouns to write descriptions of characters and settings.  In spellings, we will explore the suffixes -ing, -ed, -er, -est, plural –s, -es and the prefix un-.  

In Maths, the children will continue to learn about multiplication and division.  They will use their knowledge of recognising and adding equal groups to arrange objects in columns and rows as arrays.  This will also be the first time the children are explicitly introduced to the idea of division.  The children will start with a given total and make groups of an equal amount.  Later in the term we will introduce fractions.  First, we will learn about half of a shape, object or an amount, then quarter of a shape, object or amount.

Homework 

Are you working towards your 25 reading band?  Or maybe even your 50 reading band?  Well done to the children that have managed to read 25 days this term.  We look forward to getting more again in Term 5.

In Term 5, our book change day will be twice a week.  Please make sure your child has their zippy wallet in school every day so that they can change their book.  If your child does not bring their previous book back, we cannot hand out a new one.  

It is now getting closer to the Year 1 National Phonics Screening check in June.  If you are looking for a resource to support your child at home, try this pack of flash cards.  You can purchase them on Amazon for around £10.   You can play lots of fun games to get your child reading at home.
