As we continue our learning together in Summer 1; let's have a look at all of the exciting learning taking place.
English
We will enjoy reading the classic tale of 'Charlotte's Web' by E.B White. We will explore the amazing vocabulary used and plan to write narrative pieces based on the amazing events in the story. This is the story of a little girl named Fern, who loves a little pig named Wilbur - and of Wilbur's dear friend, Charlotte, a beautiful large grey spider. When Fern's uncle decrees that Wilbur must become bacon, Fern, Charlotte, Templeton the rat and all Wilbur's farmyard friends come up with an ingenious plan to fool the humans, and save their very special pig.
Joyful, funny, and deeply moving, Charlotte's Web is a story about the power of friendship, and celebrating what makes everyone special. It is rightly heralded as one of the greatest children's books ever written. We will also learn lots of new punctuation and grammar skills this term such as punctuating direct speech and using adverbs bore regularly in our writing. All this is alongside our daily spelling and weekly guided reading there will something for everyone to enjoy this half term!
Maths
We will continue the year with revising the key rules of number addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Alongside this we will revisit fractions, solving problems and exploring equivalent fractions. In our fluency sessions we will be focusing on the times tables we have not yet learnt - 7 and 9 times table.
History
|
We will explore the Anglo-Saxon period of British history. We will explore who they were and why they came to Britain. We'll learn about their villages, homes, and what daily life was like for children back then. We'll discover what they believed in, including their gods and legends like Beowulf. We'll also look at how they wrote using runes and what treasures like the Sutton Hoo ship can tell us. There will be fun activities like making Anglo-Saxon shields or writing secret messages in runes! |
