Religious Education: Rules

We will be beginning to learn about Rules and why we need rules in the home, school and community.  The topic on Rules is to help the children to understand that if we are to live together harmoniously then we treat each other kindly.  If however we make bad choices, then we say sorry and we forgive each other. 

Feast day in honour of Our Lady is on Friday 23^rd May.

Phonics                     

                     Ch

chair, cheese, cheek, chilly, chase, cheat, chicken, chocolate, chain, challenge

High frequency words, some of which are not phonetic and just have to be learnt by sight:

saw, in, he, children, house, help

Please write a sentence for each word with a capital letter and full stop.  Add a conjunction such as ‘and’ ‘because’ ‘or’ ‘so’ ‘but.’  We are focussing on writing sentences with detail by adding adjectives.

Focus on neat handwriting too.

A chair can be made out of wood or plastic and plastic is a material that is not natural.

English: Look Up by Nathan Bryon

We are drawing our topic to a close by writing poems about Space, the Moon, The Solar system and Astronauts.  The children have enjoyed this topic very much and who knows, it may have inspired both the girls and boys who may one day follow the same route of these Astronauts or work in these fields!

Maths:

We will be learning about Time next week.  We use the Analogue clock and will learn o’clock, half past the hour, quarter past the hour and quarter to the hour. 

Home learning;

We are completing our learning on Fractions.  This is some information to help you.

The children have learnt to use cubes to share out the numbers equally into 4 groups to find ¼ of a number and then progressed to drawing a grid and recording the cubes on the grid to work out the ¼ of a number.  

¼ of 12 = 3

              ¼             ¼

              ¼              ¼

A link to look at to introduce you to Time.
