What We Are Learning About - Summer 2
“I therefore…beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.” Ephesians 4;1
Religion
Our current topic in Religion is “Unity”, we be exploring Jesus' love and how this creates unity amongst us as Christians. We will examine the meaning behind the eucharist and how this makes us as one woth God. Through examining the variety of audiences we can delve deeper into the meaning of the scripture and why it is relevant to us all in different ways. As always our weekly Class Liturgy will be led by the children.
The Bible - Knowledge Organiser
Pentecost - Knowledge Organiser
English
Our class novels this half term will be the book " The Final Year" and "The First Year". The children will continue writing and we will be writing from the point of view of a red bloodcell and describing its journey around the human body. The children will be writing a TripAdviser review about Camp Green Lake.
Maths
We begin the term focusing on revision and recapping on previous topics. We will use this knowledge and apply it to a variety of question styles, concentrating first on fluency and then progressing on to reasoning and problem solving questions. As always we promote oracy in this subject and the children will be using this skill to explain to their peers, how and why they have used methods, ultimately furthering and imbedding their learning.
What You Need to Know
Homework will be given on Monday to reflect the week’s learning. Homework will often cover Numeracy, Literacy, and a list of spellings in preparation for the Grand Spell each Friday.
Children are also expected to read and practise their times tables every night.
Please send your child in their PE kit on Fridays for PE lessons. PE kit is a plain white t-shirt with dark trainers or pumps, and blue or black shorts. Plain black or blue tracksuit bottoms may be worn in the winter.
Please also provide your child with a hooded coat so they can stay warm during playtime.
