Monster have appeared at school. Where have they come from and who do they belong to? Do you know? 
English
Reading - Children will continue to develop their decoding skills, increasing their pace and accuracy of decoding. We will re-read to develop fluency and expression in our reading. After reading we will discuss and describe characters, retell stories; discussing events, and answer questions about what they have read. The children will visualise and identify and discuss new vocabulary to deepen their understanding of what they have read. Writing - Our current skills focus is punctuation and vocabulary. Punctuation - children need to recall the range of punctuation taught in Year 2 and apply it accurately within a range of writing. Capital letters, full stops, exclamation marks, question marks, commas in list, apostrophes in contracted forms of words and possessive apostrophes Vocabulary - we will identify and remember effective vocabulary from our reading and apply it appropriately within a range of writing. We will sort the vocabulary into nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, to aid us to use it appropriately. We will link our spelling learning, bu explore a range of suffixes and related spelling rules (-ed, -ing, -er, -est, -y, -ful, -less, -ly, -ment, -ness) Mathematics We are currently learning about fractions, applying our knowledge of division to help us. We will then explore different types of measure - length, height, time, capacity and temperature. |
