R.E: our topic this half-term is The Bible.
The children will learn that the Bible is a story of God’s love and concern for us. They will learn that the Bible is a living book through which God speaks to us and tells us about himself. They will learn that the Bible is one story toldthrough many different books and they will learn about Moses, David and Jonah as well as learning how to find a Bible reference.
The children will have the chance to:
• explore how the Bible helps us to pray and experience how God speaks to us in the Bible
• participate in a liturgy and experience a guided meditation on a text from the Bible
At home, you could help your child by:
• reading some of the stories the children have covered in class
- English - Reading: we will be reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. We will be practising our fluency skills as well as comprehension strategies.
- English - Writing: we will be writing various narratives linking to our Guided Reading text. Including, descriptions and writing from alternative points of view.
- Maths: we will be practising our place value skills by representing, writing and partitioning numbers up to 10,000. We will continue to consolidate our learning of our timestables.
At home, you can help your child by helping them learn their timetables. This will help them later in the year in both multiplication and division.
- Science: our science topic this half-term is Sound.
At home, you can help your child by visiting the library and looking at information books relating to sound.
