Project:
We are very excited to get stuck into our new project, The Great Explorer. In this project we will be studying the book ‘The Great Explorer’ by Chris Judge. We will be thinking all about journeys and recapping them in our writing. We will be learning about how to write a diary and what that entails finally becoming reporters and creating our own newspaper article to share with another year group. We will also become geographers, thinking about the setting and location of the book as well as weather. In addition to English and geography skills we will also be using our DT skills to design, make and evaluate our own hot air balloons which feature in the book.
Home Learning:
In addition to the home learning sheets that will be sent home at the beginning of a new project, children are encouraged to read and practise their spellings at home.
Reading
Please read with your child as often as possible at home and record in their home school book which is checked daily. Each class has their own reading race where for every day a child reads at home they move their name up the chart. When a child has read 4 times or more over the week they are entered into a raffle to win a prize at the end of each half term. All children are encouraged to take part in our school wide reading challenge, which can be completed over the whole school year and can be found on the website.
Spelling
Children will receive a weekly list of spellings to learn at home. These will be sent home every Friday, commencing Friday 10th September and then checked in school the following Friday.
PE: Monday and Wednesday
The children will have an indoor and outdoor slot weekly, therefore please provide them with suitable clothing for both of their slots. We will be continuing with the daily run, so please ensure that your child has suitable footwear to participate every day. PE kits will be sent home on a Friday to be washed and returned on Monday.
Please do speak to us if you have any queries or concerns. You can do this by emailing: adminoffice@endeavour.hants.sch.uk.
