If you read atleast three times per week, you will earn a certificate. There will be a prize for the person who reads the most books! We complete shared reading lessons 3 times per week - we do something called VIPERS which stands for Vocabulary, Inferance, Predictions, Explainations, Retrieval and Sequencing or Summarising. This is to promote the different skills that are needed to enjoy and understand the life skill of reading. I will organising a Book Swap Day this will be an day were you can bring in a book and swap - this is a good way of reading different types of books for free! More details will follow throughout the year. I will organise more readathon sessions when we invite our families to read together as this proved popular last year.
- Times tables: TT Rockstars - your login details are in your homework book - keep practising your timestables and be the best at your multiplying and dividing skills. I will be setting up challenges against other classes - I know you will try your very best.
- Homework: Reading, spelling and multiplication activities on TT Rockstars. I will also be setting you projects to do at home and you will be given longer to work on this - let your imagination and creativity skills go wild! You could chose what you would like to do, More details will be sent out later on in the term.
Our Year overview
Our next class book is called Escape from Pompeii- we will be working in English lessons on this book.
Join Tranio, the son of an actor, and his friend Livia, the baker's daughter, in witnessing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. Tranio, like most Roman boys, likes to watch whatever is going on: tradesmen selling their goods, ships unloading their exotic cargoes, politicians making speeches in the forum. But one hot August day a very different scene unfolds. The ground begins to shake, the sky to darken. People run gasping for air. Heading for the harbor, Tranio and his friend Livia hide on a boat and witness one of the most terrifying moments in recorded history-the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of their beloved city, Pompeii.
Our Class Reading Book is: The Boy who Grew Dragons by Andy Shepherd - we are really enjoying this funny book - we wonder what Tomas and Flicker are going to do next!
Tomas unexpectedly becomes the guardian of some freshly hatched fire-breathers when dragon fruit starts appearing on his grandad's tree in Shepherd's utterly enchanting, laugh-out-loud and heartwarming story.
Our Next Class reader will be: The Iron Man by Ted Hughes
We will also be using this book as a shared reading book and will be having VIPERs work on it on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The Iron Man came to the top of the cliff.
Where had he come from? Nobody knows.
How was he made? Nobody knows.
Mankind must put a stop to the dreadful destruction by the Iron Man and set a trap for him, but he cannot be kept down. Then, when a terrible monster from outer space threatens to lay waste to the planet, it is the Iron Man who finds a way to save the world.
