During the Summer Term we are reading Danny Champion of the World by Roald Dahl and completing lots of activities linked to the book. We are writing diary entries, analysing characters and drawing pictures using Roald Dahl's descriptions of characters. We are also going to complete some drama work and once we have read the novel watch the film and compare it to the book.
The main focus in Maths is on Fractions and Decimals this term and we will be continuing to learn and practise our times tables.
States of Matter and Sound are our Science topics and in Geography are looking at maps to develop our map skills.
With this being the Summer Term we are practising Athletics and Rounders in P.E. lessons and hopefully the sun will keep shining for us to do this.
poetry
During some of our online lessons we wrote our own poems. Below are 2 acrostic poems written by members of our class.
Lockdown
An Acrostic Poem about Lockdown written by Jack H.
Lockdown
Looking after ourselves
Only essential shopping
Coronavirus causing chaos
Keep 2m apart at all times
Don’t know when it’s going to go
Oh yes we have a vaccine
Willing us to keep positive
Never give up hope
Back to school
An Acrostic Poem about going back to school by Brooke M.
Back to School
Best friends playing on the yard. Amazing laughter in the pen. Caring teachers watching as we play with our friends. Kind Mr Worral waitiing and greeting us at the gate.
Teaching children great and fun work. Offering good support to those who need it.
Spending time with friends again. Children having fun during Golden Time. Having yummy lunch together. Over all the noise teachers trying to talk. Over your head, watch out for footballs! Loving out friends as we laugh our way through school.
Homework
Maths - Given on a Monday and to be handed in the following Monday .
English - Given on a Thursday and to be handed in the following Thursday.
Spellings - A set of 10 spellings given out on Thursday and children will be tested the following Thursday.
Times Tables - Every Friday the children will complete a Times Table Challenge. Their target is to be able to answer 144 multiplication questions in 12 minutes!
PE
Our PE days are Monday and Thursday and will take place outdoors. Due to the weather children are encouraged to wear leggins, jogging bottoms, tracksuits for PE and to have their kit with them everyday so that we can try and choose our PE slot according to the better weather.
Music
This year we are fortunate to be able to have guitar tuition for the whole class. These lessons will be on a Monday afternoon. If your child has a guitar it would be great if they could bring it to school on a Monday to use in the lesson. If not we do have guitars in school for the children to use and hopefully they will be able to bring one home to practise on in a few weeks time.
In a morning we come in and have a go at diffferent daily challenges. Below are some examples of the types of activities we do while everyone washes their hands, prepares for working and we have the register taken.
| Challenge One | Make a list of synonyms for the word "said" and use 5 of them in a sentence. |
| Challenge Two | Find 5 ways to make this sentence more exciting. "The boy played in the park." |
| Challenge Three | Draw a plant and label the different parts. |
| Challenge Four | Write an A-Z of countries. |
| Challenge Five | If 36 is the answer what is the question? Think of 5 different questions. |
