Red Deer
Welcome
Hello Red Deer, here is what we will be up to until the end of term.
English:
In English, we will be looking at the book "Greek Myths” by Marcia Williams. We will be using the text to help create a guide to Ancient Greece.
Our English lessons will ensure children can do the following:
- Write from memory simple sentences, dictated by the teacher.
- Increase the legibility, consistency and quality of their handwriting.
- Draft writing by composing and rehearsing sentences while organising paragraphs around a theme.
- Proofread and edit work by assessing the effectiveness of their own writing, suggesting improvements and proposing changes to grammar and vocabulary to improve consistency.
- Extending the range of sentences with more than one clause by using a wider range of conjunctions, including: when, if, because, although.
- Using the present perfect form of verbs in contrast to the past tense.
- Choosing nouns or pronouns appropriately for clarity and cohesion and to avoid repetition.
Maths:
Our Maths learning will be all about multiplication and division.
Our Maths lessons will ensure children can do the following:
- Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables.
- Write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that they know, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods
- Solve problems, including missing number problems, involving multiplication and division, including positive integer scaling problems and correspondence problems in which n objects are connected to m objects.
Wider Curriculum:
Red Deer will be will learning about Ancient Greece in History. We will explore the greatest achievements of the Greek. Along with this we will discover the daily life of someone in Ancient Greece, including come of its key activities. Our Science learning will be about animals and humans. The children will enjoy investigating how bones effect our bodies and the way we move along with understanding nutritional and how to read nutritional labels.
On Friday we have our PE learning. This term we will be working on activities found in the Ancient Greek Olympics. Perhaps you could continue to practise this at home with your grown-ups!
