PE Kit

In Imber class, we have PE on Tuesday and Friday. Please make sure children to come to school in their PE kit on these days.

Mornings

In Dahl Class, we start the day by preparing our learning resources, practising our spelling or reading independently.

8:45 - 9:00 Worship

9.00 - 10.00 Writing

We follow the Jane Considine 'The Write Stuff' planning units. This term, we writing a story based on the book Zoo by Anthony Browne and a balanced argument about screen use.

10:00 - 10:20 Reading Comprehension

Guided Reading. This term, we will be reading a variety of texts. In these sessions, we discuss the text in detail to expand our vocabulary, answer retrieval (‘right there’) questions, followed by inference (thinking about what we have read) questions. These involve being clue detectives to read between the lines for a deeper understanding of what the author is trying to tell us. It is really important that we can give evidence from the text to support our ideas.

10:35 - 11:00 Spelling / Grammar

11:00 - 12:00 Maths

This term, we are developing our understanding of place value and the four operations.
