Week beginning Monday 4th February

Writing

This week we will be sorting information from the text in the style of a non-chronological report. We will also be interviewing one another in the role of experts on particular animals. This will provide the children with the opportunity to orally state facts which we hope will transfer into their writing. We will also be answering questions about the story. These will be a variety of retrieval questions (where the answer is in the text) and choice questions (where the children form their own opinion.)

Reading

Our current class read is The Hodgeheg by Dick-King-Smith.

Maths

We will be finishing our work on shape and space this week. Our learning objectives include counting vertices on 3d shapes, sorting 3d shapes and making patterns with 3d shapes.

We will also be completing a short assessment on division (our previous maths unit) and recapping calculating strategies on Friday.

History

We are learning about Pablo Picasso.

Science

We will be continuing our work on plants.

PE

We are excited to have some students from Archbishop Tennison’s learning to lead PE/ games and activities as part of their Sport’s Leader’s Initiative. They will be working with us for the next 6 weeks.
