Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had an enjoyable Easter break and are all ready for our busy summer term J.
You can find a curriculum plan for this term here. The main focus for our learning is the United Nations Ocean Challenge although there are quite a few other learning opportunities! (Goblin Car, David Hunter: history project, Edinburgh trip).
On Friday P7 have a Goblin Car build day.
Homework There are three pieces of homework each week for six weeks of this term ; spelling, mental maths and a cloze reading task.
Why use cloze reading ?
This term everyone has a ‘cloze reading’ booklet. Cloze refers to the ‘reading closure’ practice where children fill blanks left in the text, using whatever knowledge and experience they have. The chosen texts are unknown to pupils so they will need to use the following reading skills to choose the correct word:
* Prediction
* Cross-checking
The tasks will help to expand children’s use of language structure cues (check the tense/ word endings make sense) and meaning cues.
Homework for Friday 24th April
