Week beginning Monday 22nd May 2023
As we approach the end of the half term, the children are working hard through the tiredness and showing true Southborough perseverance.
In English this week we wrote present tense poems inspired by our surroundings. What adjectives can you use to describe the things you can see, hear, smell, touch and feel right now? Is this different to what you experience in the classroom?
In maths we have challenged ourselves with reasoning and word problems this week. We have paid close attention to looking at the different vocabulary each question contains and used this to choose the correct operation and solve the equation. Can you tell your adult what words we might find in a question that requires addition? What about subtraction, division and multiplication?
In history this week we revisited our chronology skills and used them to put 6 significant monarchs from British history on a timeline. Our 6 significant monarchs were Alfred the Great, William the Conqueror, Henry VIII Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II and we will be studying these monarchs in greater depth across the half term. Do you know any facts about these monarchs already? Can you find a fact to share with the class?
In science we have continued learning about habitats and microhabitats. Can you remember the difference between the two? Can you give an example of a microhabitat and who might live there? We went further in depth and looked at food chains this week. Can you remember which way the arrows point? Why do they point that way? Can you think of an example of a food chain from a woodland habitat?

NSPCC online safety and mental health awareness – recommended parent and child activity for half term.
Although we typically don’t set home learning over half term (apart from continuing to read and to practise tables/bonds), we are keen to share an invaluable resource to support you as parents to help your child’s mental health and online safety awareness.
NSPCC have recently launched their ‘Positively Online Campaign’, with content supporting parents to help their children navigate the online world. It includes six top tips, two videos and a great quiz that families can take together.
The idea is to get parents talking to their children about their online wellbeing and what we can all do to feel more positive when using the internet. Class teachers will follow up on this during class online safety and PSHE lessons in Term 6.
