Summer 1 Information
Dear Parents/ Carers, Welcome back, after what we hope was an enjoyable Easter break. As we enter our final term, we would like to share with you some of the things we have planned for the forthcoming weeks.
Curriculum English We will begin the half term by exploring ‘Discussions and Debates’. The children will take part in a debate and write their own discussion text. We will also be studying ‘Play scripts’. The children will be looking at the key features of play scripts, writing their own and will then be acting out their plays for their peers.
Reading The children will continue to use the Accelerated Reading programme. Please keep encouraging your child to read as much as possible at home. On page 2-3 of your child’s Learning Journey, you will find question prompts that will support their progress in this curriculum area. In addition to this, every morning, the children will do guided reading or activities based on this.
Maths This term we will be interpreting data using pictograms and bar charts. We will study fractions and decimals in greater depth using the context of measure. We will continue to incorporate word problems into lessons so that the children can apply their mathematical knowledge and skills to a variety of different contexts.
Religion During the next few weeks, we will be studying the feast of Pentecost and discussing the Holy Spirit and the gifts it brings. We will reflect upon the mission of the first apostles and postulate our own mission in the world today. We will explore how we can serve God and others through our words and actions.
