Box of Goodness Ramadan initiative

A gentle reminder we are collecting non-perishable food items throughout Ramadan to support families in need. Items can be dropped off at the Learner Entrance. Thank you for your generosity.

English

Looking back

This week in English, we have started exploring our new story Grandad’s Island. We began by looking carefully at objects linked to the story and used these clues to make predictions about what the book might be about. We also started gathering information about some of the animals that appear in Grandad’s Island, preparing to write about them using facts.

Looking forward

In our upcoming English lessons, we will continue exploring Grandad’s Island. As our writing outcome, the children will be writing their own information sentences and building towards an information text.

Ask your child

Can you find an animal at home (in a book or online) and write three facts about it?

Spellings:

bath

path

plant

clothes

busy

because

again

hour

Maths

Looking back

This week in maths, we have been learning about measuring length and height. The learners really enjoyed the hands-on activities, where they estimated the length of different classroom objects and then measured them to check how accurate their estimates were. They also measured each other’s heights and recorded the results, comparing how many centimetres taller or shorter they were than their peers.

Looking forward

We will be continuing our learning on length and height. The learners will be ordering objects from shortest to longest and tallest to shortest, using their growing mathematical knowledge and vocabulary to compare and describe different measurements.

Ask your child
How did you measure length and height in maths this week? What tools did you use?

KIRF's Key Instant Recall Facts. For this half term, the 2, 5 and 10 Times Tables. Your child should practise this on a regular basis at home.

Science

Looking back

This week we have started learning about objects and the materials they are made from. We also started to talk about the words we can use to describe the material eg flexible, hard, soft etc. We started by looking around our class and identifying what different objects were made from then

Ask your child

To identify objects around them that are made from more than one material.
What is their favourite clothes made from?
Could those objects be made from anything else? Would it be any better, stronger, lighter or heavier?

Enquiry Learning

Looking back

This week we have been preparing for our KS1 show Eddie the Penguin Saves the World. All classes have been learning their song with actions.

Looking forward

Our rehearsals will continue with a focus on learners reading lines with confidence and intonation.

Ask your child

Can they recall their class song to you? How do they sing in a loud voice without shouting? What does Stage Ready look like?
