October Learning

Literacy

Children will;

Talking and Listening

• adapt behaviour and language to suit different situations and contexts, recognising the need for Standard English
• sustain purposeful conversation and reflect on participation and contributions
• be aware of different purposes for questioning
• use and explore different question types - to clarify, to plan and to set goals
• identify some aspects of talk which vary between formal and informal occasions
• consider how working in role helps to explore complex issues

Children will;

Text Level Work

Children will be able to understand and evaluate a range of instructional texts in terms of their:

• purposes
• organisation and layout
• clarity and usefulness

Children will be able to write instructional texts and test them out, e.g. instructions for loading computers, design briefs for technology, rules for games

Sentence Level Work

Children will understand that grammar is about the order of words in sentences

Children will investigate word order by examining how far the order of words in sentences can be changed:

• which words are essential to meaning
• which can be deleted without damaging the basic meaning
• which words or groups of words can be moved into a different order

Children will investigate how dialogue is presented in narrative and play-scripts:

• collect and classify speech verbs used to introduce and conclude it e.g.: ‘said’, ‘replied’, ‘cried’, ‘enquired’, ‘wondered’ etc.;

Word Level Work

Children will know and understand that the same phoneme can be represented in more than one way e.g. tea, me, tree, happy

2022 and 2023

November learning

Mental Maths

• Recognise position of digit indicates value, including numbers to 2 decimal places.
• Count, read, write and order decimal numbers to 2 decimal places.
• Add decimal numbers to 1 decimal place, without bridging the unit.

Number

• Use standard written and calculator methods to multiply number of any size by a single digit, including decimal numbers to 2dp, estimating the answer before calculating.
• Multiply any 2 or 3 digit whole numbers by a teens number by partitioning eg. 36x16=36x10+36x6
• Use standard written and calculator methods to divide number of any size by a single digit, including decimal numbers to 2dp, estimating the answer before calculating..

Non-Number

• Design and construct computer databases, and interrogate using 2 criteria. Record data in tables, deciding own class intervals, understanding that class intervals are equal in range and have no gaps or overlaps with adjacent class intervals. Display information from table as a grouped frequency diagram, with own class intervals. Estimate, measure and calculate weight, selecting most appropriate unit and measuring equipment. Understand that measurement of weight is continuous and selecting an appropriate degree of accuracy for different contexts. Calculate areas of right angled triangles.   Develop a formula for calculating the volume of cubes and cuboids, based upon the area of each layer and the number of layers of cubes.

Literacy

• Sentence structure   Paragraphs P7: Write 4 or more paragraphs using conjunctions to establish cohesion within paragraphs and between paragraphs.

  Connectives to join thoughts between sentences and paragraphs.

  P5-7: Develop knowledge of sentence starters.

Weeks 1

In groups, the children will listen to and write about Viking sagas.

SEESAW

Dear parents/ Queridos pais/ Drodzy Rodzice

If you have 2 or more children, you will have to log off and then log in on the Seesaw app. Each child has a separate code for the seesaw app. Please keep the codes you have been given for each child safe so you can sign in and out for each child.

This is only the case if you have 2 or more children on Seesaw using the same device.

We are sorry for any inconvenience but each child has a separate account for Seesaw as they have different classes. If you would like another copy of the code please do not hesitate to contact me on ymulholland883@c2kni.net or your teachers email address is on their webpage.

Se tem um ou mais filhos, tem que sair de uma conta Seesaw para poder entrar em outra. Cada aluno tem o seu proprio codigo para a sua conta Seesaw. Por favor, guarde os codigos que foram atribuidos aos seus filhos cuidadosamente para poder fazer o login e o logout sempre que necessário.

Este caso aplica-se apenas a quem tem mais que um filho a usar o mesmo dispositivo electronico para a Seesaw.

Pedimos desculpas pela incoveniencia mas cada aluno tem o seu proprio codigo de usuário pois estao em classes diferentes. Se necessita de uma outra copia do codigo, nao hesite em pedir-me atraves do email  ymulholland883@c2kni.net ou atraves do email do professor que está disponivel na nossa página online.

Jesli masz 2 lub wiecej dzieci, musisz sie calkowicie wylogowac, a nastepnie ponownie  zalogowac w aplikacji Seesaw. Kazde dziecko otrzymalo indywidualny  kod do app . Seesaw. Zachowaj kody, ktore otrzymales osobno dla kazdego z dzieci, abys mogl indywidualnie  zalogowac  i wylogowac  kazde z  dziecko  z osobna.

Informacja ta dotyczy rodzicow w  przypadku, gdy masz 2 lub wiecej dzieci  w szkole korzystajacych z app.Seesaw z tego samego urządzenia.

Przepraszamy za wszelkie niedogodnosci, ale  kazde dziecko ma oddzielne konto na app. Seesaw, poniewaz uczeszczaja do innej klasy. Jesli chcesz otrzymac kolejna kopie kodu, nie wahaj sie skontaktowac ze mna pod adresem ymulholland883@c2kni.net lub adres e-mail Twojego nauczyciela ktory znajduje sie na  stronie internetowej szkoly.

Kind regards/ Com os melhores comprimentos/ Z powazaniem
