Red Deer
Strike Action 15th and 16th March 2023
Welcome
Hello Red Deer, here is what we will be up to over the next few weeks.
English:
In English, we will be looking at the book "Starbird” by Sharon King-Chai. We will be using the text to help create a fable of good moral.
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 mass and capacity.
Our Maths lessons will ensure children can do the following:
- Measure, compare, add and subtract: mass (kg/g); volume/capacity (l/ml).
- The comparison of measures using simple scaling by integers (for example, a given quantity or measure is twice as long or five times as high) in connection to multiplication.
Wider Curriculum:
We will be will learning about the Forces and Magnets in Science. We will explore how forces operate and discover the behaviours of magnets through challenges and investigate that stimulate thought. In Geography, we will discover the parts of the UK. As a class, we will find out about how the UK is made up of counties, learn about major physical and human features and explore the unique weather traits of the UK. The children will enjoy our topic of Netball in PE, children will continue to develop their team-building skills.
Mr Dale
