Odd Socks Day

Children can wear odd socks to school today in support of anti-bullying week.

English

At Howard Primary School we have adopted The Power of Reading scheme for literacy. Our literacy work is based around a core text. The text we are working on is called Rapunzel by Bethan Woollvin.

Other books by Bethan Woollvin include:

This week we will:

response to illustrations & consider the role of a character
ask Rapunzel questions to find out more about her thoughts, feelings and worries.
write a shared write
write in role (diary writing)

Response to illustrations & consider the role of a character

We will explore the character of the witch in more detail.

Ask Rapunzel questions to find out more about her thoughts, feelings and worries.

The teacher will play the role of Rapunzel, and the children will ask Rapunzel questions. They will ask meaningful questions that will help us find out more information about Rapunzel’s feelings, thoughts and worries. We will then think about questions that allow us to gather a lot of information and questions that will not provide us with a lot of useful information.

Write a shared write

We will look at examples of diaries and study the features of diaries.

As a class we will then write a shared diary in the role of Rapunzel detailing our feelings about our everyday life.

Write in role (diary writing)

We will now be Rapunzel and plan a diary. We will use our knowledge of the story so far and we will use elements from our shared write from Thursday to help us.

Maths

- - Subtract two 2-digit numbers (not crossing tens) expanded method
    
    Subtract two 2-digit numbers (crossing tens) number line
    
    Subtract two 2-digit numbers (crossing tens) place value chart
    
    Number bonds to 100
    
    Add 3 1-digit numbers

Subtract two 2-digit numbers (not crossing tens) expanded method

Children will partition the numbers into tens and ones. They will subtract the tens, then subtract the ones.

Subtract two 2-digit numbers (crossing tens) place value chart

Number bonds t0 100

Children can use their knowledge of number bonds to 10 to help them with their number bonds to 100.

We will recap number bonds to 100 (multiples of 10) . Some examples include 40 +60 = 100/ 90 + 10 = 100

When thinking about number bonds to 100 ( not using multiples of 10) we can spot a pattern that can help us.

The tens need to add to 90 and the ones need to add up to 10. 90 + 10 = 100

73 + 27 = 100

70 + 20 = 90 and 3 + 7 = 10. 90 add 10 equals 100.

Add 3 1-digit number

Religious Education

The focus this term will be different religions

Music

Children will explore sound body percussion.

PE

Our focus this term will be tennis and dance/exercise.

Geography

In Geography we are learning about continents and oceans. We are learning about continents first. Children will use atlases and maps to identify the different continents. We will think about the location of the different continents, key features of the continents and where it is in relation to other continents.

PSHE

We still use 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 will continue to consolidate the school’s policy of Good to be Green and the 5C’s.

We will be introducing a new scheme of work for PHSE. We will be using a scheme of work provided by Jigsaw.

Primary PSHE scheme of work including statutory Relationships and Health Education (England)
