Reading<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been looking at how to structure questions when we have to locate evidence from the text.  In order to help us, we have used the phrases \u2018In the text it states\u2026 this suggests that\u2026 It also states\u2026 which makes me think that\u2026\u2019 This helps us to find a quote first, thus channeling our thinking based  on the individual quote rather than the whole text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have worked on impressions \u2013 what do these mean? What is an impression. What word classes are we often thinking of when talking about impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be looking on different questions and considering what they are asking us to do. We are using mark schemes and thinking about how many marks we will achieve and why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our book for after the assessment period is called A Long Walk to Water. This is a wonderful, moving story of the lengths that people in Sudan have had to go to in order to have clean water to drink.  This will link to our History and Geography topic, which is all about the local area and people who have made a significant difference to the area. We will be engaging in drama, writing letters, story extracts and developing our powers of persuasion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mathematics<\/span> <\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In mathematics lessons, children will be learning about statistics, properties of shape and position and direction. We will, of course, be re-visiting areas of the curriculum (as we always do) to ensure children feel ready and confident to tackle the questions in the End of Key Stage 2 SATs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In science lessons, children will explore the structure of the heart and lungs. The double circulation through the lungs and the rest of the body is explained and children learn more about blood! They will investigate the questions: How does exercise affect pulse rate? Why exercise is good for us and what can harm the heart and lungs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical Education<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This term, children will continue to hone in on their tennis skills. They will be focussing on using a variety of strokes (forehand, backhand and overhead shots), understanding the need for tactics and applying rules consistently and fairly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children will also have dance lessons where they will learn the routines for our production of I’m an 11-year-old Get Me Out of Here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This term, Oak Class will have the opportunity to learn to play the ukulele. These lessons are taught by a music specialist from Inspire Music. Lessons are aimed at increasing children’s familiarity\u00a0and ability using a ukulele. Through\u00a0the\u00a0performance of\u00a0contemporary songs, children\u00a0will develop their musical knowledge and will develop rhythm and accompaniment skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
