In Class we we are learning...
| Cross-Curricular Theme |
The Runaway Train
During this theme children will be finding out about different locations, such as countryside, seaside and cities. Children will look at the features of each location as well as the types of jobs that people might have.
The aim of the presentation is to encourage your child to speak with confidence in front of others. We would like the presentation to be the child’s own work where possible. It does not have to be anything elaborate and could just be a simple picture draw by the child with a few sentences about the theme.
We would like you to research a type of transport of your choice. This can be any type of transport including transport used in different countries around the world. We would like you to talk for about 2 – 5 minutes about what you have found out. E.g. The name of your transport, how it moves, when it was invented and any other interesting facts you have found.

Literacy
This week in Literacy we will be reading The Runaway Train by Benidict Blaythwyt. Children will be learning to tell the story using actions, so we will be practising every day. Children will also be introduced to onomatopoeia and try to use it in their writing about trains, beaches and more. At the end of the week children will be writing a postcard as the character of Duffy and will be encouraged to use onomatopoeia.
Reading
If you would like more books to read at home, you can access many different fiction and non-fiction texts by following this link :http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/Library/Index/?AgeGroup=4
You can choose the age range, play the story with sound or let your child read to themselves. This is a brilliant way of practising reading.
Numeracy
In Numeracy this week we are going to be looking at time again. Children will be thinking about units of time and intervals of time, working out what they can do in 1 minute and reading some times. Children will then try to solve word problems involving time.
