Spring Term

This is term our topic is 'To Infinity and Beyond' 

This term, our topic will be ‘To Infinity and Beyond' where we will be learning about famous historical figures and events, linking to space. As always, we will be covering this across the curriculum and the children have planned some creative and exciting ways to learn about it.

Our Literacy key text is: The Bog Baby

We will be predicting what we think the story is about and developing our inference skills by asking and answering lots of questions about the story. We will then sequence it and retell it showcasing our amazing writing skills. 

Reading 

Reading is very important for children to enhance their reading skills. They are: exposed to new vocabulary that they can apply in their learning, as well as their speech and language; able to develop and apply their inference skills; and discuss and explain different types of books. 

Once you have listened to your child read, please sign their Reading Record.
Once children have read three or more times a week, they will recieve a star sticker in their record. 

The children will have Maths homework each week set in their Maths Practise Journals.

We then ask if children can spend 10 minutes a week on NumBots building their mathematical fluency. 

Homework should be completed to the same high standards that we expect of work done during school time and it should be handed in on time. Your child should be spending about 30 minutes on each piece of work. Homework is due in every Monday.

The children will also receive Spelling Shed log in this term and will be set an assignement each Wednesday to practise a new spelling rule.
