Our learning this week…
English
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.

Week beginning 28th March 2022
What are we learning this week?
English –
We shall be moving over to a new 10-day cycle approach to the teaching of English in Year 6. The outline is as follows:
In our English lessons, we shall still be using a range of different adaptations to understand the story of Macbeth. In our daily Reading lessons, we shall use supplementary texts. This weeks supplementary texts will be a mixture of Shakespeare’s sonnets and non-fiction texts about: the Tudors, the theatre, newspaper reports about Shakespeare and Shakespeare – himself.
Our English lesson learning objectives this week are:
- To use formal and informal language accurately and appropriately.
- To engage in Book Talk.
- To perform a scene using different interpretations.
- To create a character profile.
- To write an informal letter.
What is our class reading book?
Since we are studying the Shakespeare classic Macbeth, we have decided to read from a collection of Shakespeare short stories, by Andrew Matthews. Each week, the children in Year 6 vote for which two of the Shakespeare short stories that they would like to listen to. Afterwards, we shall be looking to identifying similarities and differences across the collection.
Maths –
- To use fractions, angles, percentages and understanding proportional relationships
- To draw attention to the central angle and the area of the ‘slice’ being important compared to the whole
- To construct pie charts, relate the central angle of each slice back to 360°. For example, an angle of 90° is 1⁄4 of the circle because 90⁄360=1⁄4.
- To know that the size of the circle can be different but still represent the same data.
- To be able to read scales/number lines with labelled intervals
- To draw and interpret Line graphs used to represent continuous data; time, length, etc. and to show conversion rates (e.g. kilometres to miles
Science –
Continuing with our unit, Living Things and their Habitats, we shall be researching the scientist Carl Linnaeus and evaluating his contributions to Science.
RE –
It’s RE week, this week. We shall be learning about the Jewish festival, Passover.
RHE –
This term’s unit is called Healthy Me. Our learning objective this week are:
- To understand that some people can be exploited and made to do things that are against the law.
PE –
- To gain possession through tackling.
- Real PE – dynamic balance to agility.
