PE Days

Our PE days are Mondays and Thursdays. The children are to arrive at school dressed in their PE kit on these days.

​

Outdoor Learning

Our Outdoor Learning sessions will take place on a Wednesday each week. Please ensure that your child arrives to school wearing suitable clothing, including their wellies or old shoes and a waterproof coat.

Learning Journey

In our next learning enquiry, the children will be exploring Shakespeare's Macbeth. After familiarising ourselves with the overall plot of the play, we will be focusing on the characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. We will explore Act III Scene IV, where Macbeth sees the ghost of his friend Banquo at the dinner table, through drama and discussion. The children will then record their responses to this in a mixed genre text that will include a playscript, a character exploration and a short piece of narrative writing. 

​

Reading 

Being able to read fluently and comprehend is essential for all children's success across the curriculum. Reading is taught alongside our learning enquiry each week. We will choose a fiction book as our class reader each term which allows an opportunity for the children to listen to a story for pleasure. We also love to engage in discussion and debate about our reading during our weekly ‘Book Blether’ sessions. Children must have their reading book and reading record in school every day so that we can enjoy and celebrate reading with together. All children are expected to read at home daily for at least 15 minutes and are asked to keep a log of their reading in their Reading Record. After completing a book, children are to quiz on Accelerated Reader at school or at home. The children will be rewarded for their efforts at home.
