This Week’s Learning
Week commencing Tuesday 7th January.
This week we will be starting our new Spring Term topic, Africa.
In literacy we will be looking at the text ‘Lila and the Secret of Rain’ by David Conway and Jude Daly. We will be exploring this text by connecting the story to the real world and making inferences.
In maths we will be expanding our understanding of addition by counting on.
In topic we will be looking at Africa and weather. We will be collecting pupil voice to find out what we know and what we want to find out about this topic.
Just a reminder that PE is on Tuesday and Wednesdays and that all students need their book bag every day to access reading at school.
Thank you!
