| Subject | Profiles | Ideas for home |
| English | Pupils will be exploring the story ‘The Dragon Machine’. We will use this book in order to practice refining our descriptive language and comprehension of story devices | Have fun reading with your child – stories you enjoyed, stories they might not read on their own (fictional stories would fit this beautifully), comics, newspaper articles and magazines.
Ask them to add in extra words that help describe
|
| Maths | The Summer term will begin with an exploration of fractions. We will use diagrams to identify how many equal parts a shape has been split into and move on to thinking about how many more parts are needed to make the whole. These skills will then be applied in a variety of contexts, such as dividing ingredients up in our Kitchen Skills lessons and sharing out classroom resources. | Try to use division skills at home. Ask questions such as:
“We have 8 biscuits and 4 people. How many does each person get?
|
| Personal Development/PfAL | Pupils will discuss and learn about the physical and emotional stages of puberty the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle. We will also explore possible career opportunities, looking at skills that are needed for courses | If you feel able to, continue to discuss with your child how they feel about their use of the internet. Is there any aspect that they feel unsure about? We can discuss this in school if you write it in their diary. |
| Kitchen Skills | Pupils will continue to explore healthy eating this half term, along with learning safe hygiene and food handling in our Teaching Kitchen. Pupils will plan, buy and make a recipe each week, which will be turned into our very own Sycamore Cook Book. | What are your favourite family meals at home, do you have a recipe? If so, send it in and we can consider making it. |
| Computing | Linked to our instructional writing in English, pupils will learn about coding and how important the process of writing out accurate steps to follow can be when operating ICT devices. | If possible, explore the website www.code.org, where you will find more information and games to learn how coding is used.
|
| Art | Pupils will create their own landscape portraits of the coast, using perspective, colour blending and texture to capture some of the local area’s surroundings. | What colours do you think will be the most useful for painting the coastline? Try and visit the coast or look at pictures taken at different times of the day. How do the colours change? |
| TITAN | Pupils will attend regular walking trips in order to practise their road safety skills. This will be within Sheringham and aims to improve knowledge and confidence in becoming more independent in their personal safety. | Explore road signs when you are out and about together. What do they mean? If you do not know, use the internet to find out. |
| PE | Pupils will take part in a variety of athletic events to begin the summer term developing key skills like running, jumping, throwing, and teamwork. | Continue to look for ways to exercise on a regular basis. How many different 10 minute activities can you think of that you could do each day? Maybe invent one and name it! |
