Get Talking, Get Learning!

Literacy- Next week in Literacy we will be starting a new unit on recounts and newspaper reports. Please read some newspaper articles over the weekend and try to bring some newspapers into school on Monday as we will be investigating the features of newspaper reports.

Do you know any features of newspapers already? If you have been to newspaper club then you should be able to remember the features.

Numeracy-Next week we will be solving numeracy puzzles and problems related to money. Check that you know how to use the money notation and that you can convert from pounds to pence and vice versa. Also practice the written methods for addition and subtraction. Finally remind yourself of QUACK and how to use it.

Topic- The parents assembly is fast approaching so next week will be all about preparing for that. Please do some more research on South Africa, and in particular Nelson Mandela. On Monday you will be making some notes about Nelson Mandela’s life and then turn these into a narration and a short drama piece about his life.
You will then do rotated tasks for the rest of the week. You will decide which order to work in but you must get your South African/World cup nation food menu advert finished, design and make an African mask, learn the words to the African songs and also prepare your drama piece for the assembly.

What a busy week!

I hope you all have a wonderful and fun-filled weekend. See you on Monday.

  1. Here are the lyrics to the world cup theme song:

    When I get older I will be stronger
