Term 5 Week 5
WB: 18.05.26
In English this week we have been exploring the final part of our class text 'Krindlekrax'. It has been lovely to see the children immerse themselves in this longer text and enjoy the continuity of the story. This week we have explored including all the features we have worked on this term in our writing: expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials, speech. We have all enjoyed re-telling the story in an exciting narrative.
In Maths, we have been learning about money, looking at the values of coins and notes, how to add and subtract these and solving problems related to money. The class have enjoyed this, especially using the toy money to count and calculate! This can be a challenging topic for children ,especially in our increasingly cashless society. If you are able to encourage your child to add up money, pay with cash in a shop and look at the change and identify the coins and notes, that would really help to re-inforce the learning we have done this week, thank you.
This week is Science week, so we have been having a lot of fun experimenting with forces, using bottle and balloon rockets to investigate the forces in action. We are also looking at how to gather the results to create and use data in tables and bar charts, putting our maths learning from last week into practise.
There will be no new spellings or home learning set over the half term break, but please continue to look at the common exception word lists on the home learning page. Please also make use of TT Rockstars and read regularly!
Many thanks for your ongoing support, it makes a huge difference to your children to have your support for their learning at home. Have a lovely half term break!
