Our Topic – A Ticket Around the World!
This term our topic is ‘A Ticket Around the World’ which links to the school theme of ‘On our Travels’. Pupils will explore this topic and what it means to them through fun and exciting child led learning.
In literacy the first genre we will be focusing on is persuasive letter writing. We will learn a model text called ‘Playstations should be allowed in school’ where we will be identifying specific skills and language from the text using Pie Corbett actions. The children will then write their own letter using the skills and knowledge they have learnt. The children will also have the opportunity to apply the skills they learn during our Literacy lessons, to produce a letter persuading to visit a specific country based on our topic ‘On our Travels’.
Instruction writing will be the second genre that we will be learning about in our literacy lessons.
In maths, we will be learning about:
We would appreciate you supporting our school learning by practicing our weekly maths and literacy topics at home. Please ask your child and keep an eye out on class dojo to see what the weekly maths topics are.

Please make every effort to read at home with your child. Just a page or two a day will be really beneficial and help your child to develop their reading skills. Reading books can be brought into school daily, and we will try our best to find five minutes for individual readers. Reading books will be changed around once per week, if we feel your child needs a new book. There may be occasions where reading books will be sent home for more practise, this will be communicated in your child's reading record.
