Week beginning 7th January 2019

Happy New Year! We hope you all had a restful break. Thank you so very much for your generous gifts and festive wishes.

We have a very exciting half term planned!

Writing

We will be looking at a traditional warning tale: The Magic Brush. Some of the key vocab that we will be focusing on includes: ox, hoe, struggle, obey, capsize and Emperor. We will be answering questions about the text, including looking at the moral of the story.

Reading

Our new class read will be The Hodgeheg by Dick-King-Smith. We will be doing lots of reading comprehension style activities based on the text in preparation for the SATs in May.

Maths

This week we will be looking at the 5 and 10 x table. We will also be completing an assessment on money.

History

We will be completing a timeline of Florence Nightingale’s life before making fact files about her.

Science

We will be moving on to looking at plants. We will be finding out and describing what plants need in order to grow. The children will be hypothesising and planning their own investigations.
