Summer 2
Your world, My world
By the end of this topic, the children should be able to recognise that people's lives and have similarities and differences to theirs. This differs depending on their surroundings and locations in the world. They will be comparing similarities and differences between Manchester and Mumbai.
In science this half term, we are continuing to look at animals and their habitats. The children will learn to identify and name a range of animals and plants in their habitats. They will observe and use spotter sheets to to identify unknown living things in a micro-habitat. They will be learning to explain why an animal or plant is suited to its environment, even if unfamiliar, including desert and polar regions.
In Art this half term we will be looking at art and crafts. We will explore and create maps through various art forms, inlcluding drawing, printmaking and designing stained glass. The lessons aim to develop sorting, designing and learning to evaluate art.
Homework & Reminders
Spellings
These will be given out on Monday for the children to learn at home to be tested in school the following Friday. The spellings for the entire term are at the front of your child's reading diary.
Learning Logs
Learning Logs are given out on Fridays and are to be handed in the following Wednesday. It is a creative way for the children to present their learning from what they have done in class or research about the next topic.
Reading
Ideally, children should read a wide range of books/texts whenever possible. Even 5 minutes a day can make a difference! New reading books are given out on Fridays and need to be brought in everyday. Most of the books the children bring home are the ones they have been practising during our daily Read Write Inc phonic sessions, plus one which is similar and focuses on the same theme. Reading diaries need to be signed at least 3 times a week to show you have read with your child.
P.E.
P.E. kits need to be brought in every Monday and the children will return home wearing their kits on a Monday after their PE lesson with Coach Jake.
Parents and carers, thank you for all your support with all this. Please read the Friday Note for weekly updates.
