Use the template below to guide you or create your own subheadings. Be as creative as you wish! Remember to include: capital letters, full stops, commas, fronted adverbials, adjectives and subordinate clauses to explain and add detail. Challenge: use relative clauses to add further details.

Please read a few pages at home every day and ask an adult to sign your reading record.

HOMEWORK:

We will be sending two homework books out every Friday. There will be an English activity in the purple book and a Maths activity in the family maths book. Please have it completed ready for the following Tuesday at the latest.

FIVE READS:

Each half term, each year group has 5 new picture books to read daily during story time. These picture books are age appropriate and often link to the current learning for each year group. This ensures the children are exposed to a wide range of genres and authors across the year and develop confidence in knowing a variety of stories in greater depth. These ‘5 reads’ books are further celebrated in a half termly assembly to share the cohort’s favourite book of the half term and to receive their new ‘5 reads’.

These are our 5 reads for Spring 1:

Arthur and the Golden Rope by Joe Todd Stanton  | We are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom | Carmela Full of Wishes by Matt de la Pena |  I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy | Felix After the Rain by Dunja Jorgan

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

SPELLINGS

This year, we are trialling a new, mastery approach to spelling. Each week, we will explore a new spelling pattern and spend time practising and applying it in our written work. Below, there is a full list of spellings for each week. The children will choose up to 6 spellings that they find trickiest from the list to focus on.
