English: This term (Spring), we will be looking at the genres of narrative, letter writing, newspaper reports and diary writing, drawing on our focus text ‘Letters From The Lighthouse’. Using this as our stimuli, we will be focusing on many grammatical features: speech, semi-colons and colons, sentence construction, active and passive voice and formal writing techniques.
Maths: We will be looking at ratio, algebra, decimals, fractions/decimals/percentages - links, area, perimeter and statistics.
For a more detailed overview, please see the curriculum overview at the bottom of this class page.
Homework
This term the children will bring home a CGP study guide for English and Maths along with a homework book for English and Maths. The children will be set specific pages to tackle each week and they should support the learning that is taking place in class at that time.
In addition to this set homework, each week your child should read aloud most days and their reading record books signed. They should also continue to work on learning all their times tables up to 12x12.
Class Routines
PE will take place on a Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. Children should come into school in their PE kit on these days. No earrings or watches are allowed. Children need to have a blue PE shirt, blue shorts and/or jogging bottoms, a warm jacket, trainers and socks.
On a Tuesday morning (starting 9th January 2024) the children will be doing Hockey as their PE session. It is important for safety reasons that your child has shin pads and a mouth guard to access these sessions safely.
As ever, if you require any further information, please come and chat to the class teacher after school or send an email via the school office secretary@st-michaels-school.org
