Reading at Home
Your child needs to read at home every day. Ideally, this should be out loud to an adult. Please record each time your child reads in their Reading Record, along with a comment.
PE Lessons
Please remember that Butterworth's PE lessons are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Children need to come to school in their PE kits on these days.
Morning task
We start the day with either a writing or maths activity. Once the children have put their bags and coats away, they independently get on with this task.
English
As writers we will be writing a narrative based on 'The Real Story of the Three Little Pigs' by Jon Scieszka. Later in the term we will developing our non-fiction writing by writing an explanation based on 'Street beneath my Feet' by Charlotte Guillain and Yuval Zommer.
Spelling
We follow Jane Considine’s spelling scheme. These lessons consist of various spelling investigations and great activities to help the children with their spellings.
Handwriting
In Butterworth Class, we follow the letter join handwriting scheme. Every day we have a session building towards joined up handwriting.
Maths
As mathematicians, we will be developing our understanding of Place Value and Addition & Subtraction.
Guided reading
In guided reading, we use Bug Club and we will be looking at a range of different texts that will support our comprehension.
Religious Education (R.E.)
In R.E we are exploring the question: How special is the relationship Jews have with God?
Afternoons
During the afternoons the children will have sessions covering PE, History, Science, PSHE, Music, French, DT or Computing.
