Outline of some areas
of thematic work to be covered:
The uses of electricity and its control in simple circuits,
forces of different kinds and the way forces can affect movement and how they
can be compared. Roman villas/Tudor homes, Cardiff Bay, Developing images and
modelling effects and dream/fantasy landscapes.
Information and artefacts, which would be useful:
We would be grateful if you have any interesting artefacts,
photographs or books related to any of the above that we might borrow, or if
you have any personal experiences or expertise in these areas, you might like
to share with the class. Any internet research will be more meaningful to your
child if it is restricted to pictures or materials specifically prepared for
children.
Suggested ways in
which you can support Literacy and Numeracy:
It would be really helpful if you could regularly practise
mental addition/subtraction, 2,3,4,5 times tables please and, when your child
is ready, the 6 and 8 times tables. Please help your child by testing and
reciting the tables in a fun way.
Big Write – Please can you talk with your child every day
about the chosen topic for that week as this will help in the Big write lessons
on Friday.
Each child needs to bring their reading book every day to
read during registration. Your child might like to make a simple comment,
relating to likes/dislikes in their reading record. Asking questions such as
“why did he do that?” or “what do you think happens next?” would help children
in understanding text and aid comprehension work.
Other information:
P.E. is on a Tuesday – all children need to bring their P.E.
kit to change into for every lesson. Please make sure that the children bring a
P.E. kit for lessons in the hall and for outside as we will try and get outside
as much as possible in the fine weather!
Homework will generally cover activities from Literacy
and Numeracy lessons, however there may be pieces of homework relating to our theme.
Thank you for your
support.
