Creative Curriculum – The children will be looking into the history of entertainment. To begin we focus on William Shakespeare and the influence he has on entertainment. We then move on to looking at ways in which children entertained themselves through different toys, as well as having a go at making our own zoetrope! We think they will have a great time!
ENGLISH - In English the children will be focusing upon stories with dilemmas and stories from other cultures. So they will have the chance to explore authors who write in these styles as well as having a go themselves. We will continue to have spelling sessions regularly which will be followed up through homework. The children are expected to read on a daily basis using books that they have chosen to read for enjoyment, please support your child by sharing their chosen book with them every night and encourage them to change their books and bring their reading records in to be checked by us.
MATHS - During Maths the children will be following the Mathematical Framework which will cover using all four operations, as well as geometry, data handling, fractions and measuring. Keep practising those multiplication tables too!
R.E - During these sessions children will be exploring Christianity by looking at and studying texts from the bible. Through creative activities the children will discover how these texts can help us understand Christianity today.
