This week is anti-bullying week
and we will be doing a lot of activities related to this during the afternoons. We hope children are working hard at home
learning lines to our Christmas play. It
seems a while away but it will come round quickly.
English
Year 3
This week we will be carrying out some assessments in
Maths, Reading and Writing. We will be looking to
find out what the
children have learned so far and identify any areas that they need to work on
next. We will also have a spelling focus towards the end of the week,
looking at spelling patterns and strategies that we can use to help us to
learn our spellings.
Year 4
Children are moving onto a new topic in their English this
week and the overview of it is as follows:
Children are going to be introduced to the idea of an audio story or
podcast. As a class, they listen to a spooky story podcast in three episodes,
asking questions and listening out for sound effects to develop their listening
and comprehension skills. They will focus on the use of language and the way it
is used in conjunction with the narrator’s voice and sound effects to create atmosphere
and character. After some help they will practise mind mapping and planning a
story as a class. They will then build on this experience to plan and write
their own three-episode spooky story podcasts in groups. Time is given at the
end of the unit for the children to practise reading their stories aloud and
incorporate sound effects. The podcasts will then be recorded or performed so
that they can be shared with one another.
