Our Inquiry Question this Autumn Term:

Is Everyone Equal?

Concepts:

Equality, Culture and Human Rights

Please join our Facebook group for updates and information

An inquiry into:

Exploring equality and its impact on Wales and the wider world.
Understanding careers and the impact equality has on them.
Developing their knowledge and understanding of values and their purpose.
Identifying places and spaces in which equity and inclusion may not be present

How does this unit of enquiry support learners in realising the Four Purposes?

Enquiry based learning allows children to ask questions.

Decision-making places learners in a better position to make more informed and considered decisions.

Positive, informed  behaviours that encourage them both to care for and respect themselves and others.

Understand how decisions and actions impact on themselves, on others and on wider society, both now and in the future.

Reading

Pupils will need to bring their book in to school every day ready for their reading session. I have encouraged pupils to take book out of their bag to read and put back in their bag and return to school daily.

PE

Your child's PE day is every Friday. Children will need to come to school wearing their PE kit and with a bottle of water.

Homework

Your child will be given spellings every Friday to be learned by the following Friday. If your child has been given homework on a Friday, please submit the homework by the following Friday.

Guided Reading

Each week your child will read with the class teacher. One week will be independent reading, the second week will be as a whole group through guided reading. If your child has completed their reading book, and we are happy for them to move onto their next book, they will be given the opportunity to select and look after a new reading book during the independent reading week. They need to show the teacher before placing it in their bag. The class teacher will make a note of the new book they have chosen to keep a record.

Guided Reading

When you read with your child, please use some of these questions - and ones of your own/ more suited to the text they are reading - to challenge their thinking. Your child may be able to read the text well; fluent, accurate, steady pace, with expression. However, do they understand the context of what is happening? Are they able to make connections or make inferences about what the author is trying to convey? 3 or 4 questions either during or after your reading session will improve your child's reading and help them synthesise and evaluate what they have read.

Spelling Strategies

Please go through a variety of spelling strategies with your child to ensure they have multiple ways to spell a word. They may be asked to practice their spellings using a particular strategy week on week. Use these strategies to support you.

Handwriting Patterns

Here are a variety of strategies to help your child practice their handwriting. Please make sure that every single letter starts and ends at the appropriate position. Each child will know what handwriting stage they are on, so they can practice accordingly.

Hwb - J2E

J2E is a fantastic resource that your child has access to through their Hwb accounts. Every day your child will be practicing their times tables and spellings in a guided reading rotation, as well as through daily routines in their literacy and numeracy lessons. This a great resource for children, which is fun and engaging and will keep them entertained for hours.
