This week in reading, we will continue looking at poetry. We will look at rhyming poems and couplets, focusing on rhythm and rhyme. Additionally, we will consider how song lyrics use figurative language that is used in them (eg. similes, alliteration, rhetorical questions, personification etc).
In writing this week, we will continue creating our own poems. Students will write rhyming couplets, lyrical poems, and free verse poems. They will consider rhythm, rhyme and repetition when writing their own poem.
This week in Spelling this week we will be reviewing the sounds and content we have learnt over the past few weeks. We will also revise our tricky words from the previous week such as:
ask/asked, further, before and certainly.
This week we will continue to look at division strategies and applying them to real-life scenarios. We will also start looking at reading the time on analogue devices from hours to minutes.
Continuing with our Relationship and Sexual Education (RSE) lessons, this week in Health, we will learn about the body parts. Students will identify the parts of the reproductive systems are and where they are.
In our Cyber Safety unit, we will unpack peer pressure and look at ways to take control.
This week, we will use block coding to create and test sequenced instructions for a program. We will identify that an algorithm is a sequence of instructions that must be ordered correctly and know that computers follow algorithms written in code.
