Roet Class are taught by Mrs. Rowley and Mrs. Lawrence, with TA support from Miss. Davies.
This term the children are learning about Castles. In English the children’s learning is based on the books ‘The Egg’ and ‘The Dragon Snatcher’ by M P Robertson. The children will learn how to write descriptive paragraphs as well as writing a non-chronological report about a dragon. After the half term break, the children will be learning about Traditional Tales, based on the book ‘Honestly, Little Red Riding Hood was Rotten’.
In Geography the children will be locating places on a map, and creating plans with keys from aerial photographs of castles. In History, the children will be learning about how castles have changed and what live was like in castles in Medieval times. The children will also be looking at the artist Paul Klee and creating their own versions of his famous ‘Castle and Sun’ painting. In Maths the focus for this term will be Place Value and Number: Addition and Subtraction.
The children in Roet class will be given two pieces of homework a week. They will have Mental Arithmetic books, which they need to complete one page of a week. This will be given to the children on a Monday and needs to be completed by the following Monday. They will also be given a list of spellings which they need to learn each week. They will be tested on their spellings on a Friday. It is important for children to keep reading aloud to an adult, even as they become more confident. Reading aloud helps with their fluency, and discussion about the book with an adult can improve comprehension skills. Parents are encouraged to listen to their child read at least 3 times a week and record this in their reading records. The children in Roet class have PE on Monday and Wednesday. They need to come to school in their PE kit on those days and bring a spare pair of shoes in case they get muddy!
