Whole School Final Topic/Transition: Journeys
- We will be inviting 1 parent for each child to come to our ‘Learning Share’ to be held on the class patios on this Wednesday, 7th July. This will be a chance for you to look through your child’s work with them and then in small groups come into the classroom to take a look around and see where all their amazing learning has been taking place. Full social distancing will need to be observed, including the wearing of masks. If you could bring a pen or pencil, you will have the opportunity to complete the parent view for your child’s report whilst you are sharing their work with them.
Class 5 – 2:30 pm – 3:15 pm (odds)
Class 4 and 6 – 9:10 am – 9:55 am (evens)
- Remember to click the link to plans and resources below if your child is needing to self-isolate but is well. Please email the class email address if you find yourself in this position and are unsure.
- We will continue to aim to get outside as much as possible so they really need a waterproof coat each day.

Session 2 : Complete sheet with think bubbles to show what the characters in the house are thinking. How do we know when the book has no written words?
Session 3:Create a Headline (and article) for a Newspaper
Learning Objectives:
To create a headline and picture for a newspaper report.
Activity: To write a newspaper report about the arrival of the little girl, including a headline and picture.
Imagine that you live in that big castle. How would you feel if a stranger suddenly appeared in your city on a magical, red boat? Write a newspaper article about the girl who arrived in the city in a red boat. Who could she be? Why is she here? Think about the headline, and make it exciting. You will need a picture to go with your article too. Share examples of newspapers.
Reduced Challenge: Write the headline and draw a picture for the front of your newspaper. Think about the writing style you could use to make the headline stand out.
Challenge: Write the headline and the article. You can make it as long or short as you want. Use all the ideas you have already come up with. Include a picture and get some ideas from newspapers, the school newspaper and the other resources we have provided.
Handwriting: Include commonly mis-spelt words in writing books and from completed spelling tests. Link phonics by using other words using the alternative spellings.
Whole Class Reading – Fiction Focus – ‘Back to Earth with a Bump’ – A journey of a different kind!

Maths
Halving and Doubling
Learning objectives:
To relate doubling to adding the same number to itself
To relate halving a number to sharing equally between 2 groups
To begin to understand that halving and doubling are inverse operations
We will be working practically using numicon and other apparatus to find the double of a number and recording it as a number sentence.
We will also be giving children a chance to practise recalling their doubles and halves facts within 10 and within 20. Supporting at home:
Hit the button is a great game that you may remember from home learning. You can support them with the recall of their doubles and halves facts by giving them a chance to play this at home (set it to double and halves!)
Playing dominoes is another nice way of practising doubles.
