Owl

Welcome to Owl Class

Welcome back!

I hope you had a relaxing and exciting Easter break.

We have lots of exciting things happening this half term, read on below to find out more:

English:

In English, we will be looking at 'Tadpole's Promise' by Jeanne Willis. We will be role playing different parts of the story, writing our own versions of the story and making an informative leaflet all about the life cycle of a frog.

Our English lessons will ensure the children can do the following:

Consider what they are going to write before beginning.
Evaluate their writing with the teacher and other pupils.
Proof-read to check for errors in spelling, grammar and punctuation.
Learn how to use both familiar and new punctuation correctly, including full stops, capital letters, exclamation marks, question marks, commas for lists and apostrophes for contracted forms and the possessive (singular).

Maths:

In Maths, we are beginning our learning on Fractions and then moving on to learning all about Time.

Foundation Subjects:

In Science, we will be learning about humans and how we can be healthy.

Once we have finished this learning, we will begin our RE unit on Sikhism.

In History, we will learn about some significant explorers from the past.

In Computing, we will be using the Beebots to explore algorithms and debugging.

In DT, we will apply what we have learnt in Science and PSHE about healthy eating to make our own fruit kebabs!

On Thursdays we have our PE learning. This half term we will be practising athletics.

Helpful Reminders:

Please make sure your child has their reading record and a labelled water bottle in school every day and that their jumpers are clearly labelled.

Our PE day this year will be every Thursday. The children should come to school in their PE kits on a Thursday.
We will be visiting the Library on Thursday afternoons. Please can children bring their library books in on Thursdays so that they can change them and choose different stories to share with you at home.

To minimise the risk of lost property, we ask that all clothing items are clearly labelled with a name, even PE kit items.
If you would like some suggestions to find information for the children's homework then please look at the links listed below.

Thank you,

Miss Sanders :)
