Autumn Term Week 2
Mr. Stephens - 14 Sep 2023
This week we had our first educational visit to Rainham Parish Church and Rainham hall. Thank-you to all parents who volunteered to assist us with this visit. If you were not selected for trip - fear not!
Pictures of our trip are uploaded at the bottom of this page.
We will have other opportunities in the year including our Spring term visit to Colchester Castle and our Summer term visit to Southend.
This weeks spelling pattern is 'ge' which makes a 'j' sound.
Please ensure your children are completing their times table practise on Times Table Rockstars and their spelling practise on Spelling Shed.
English
This week we identified some of the key features of a biography. We then spent time discussing the difference between present and past tense verbs, then completed activities focusing on coordinating conjunctions.
Maths
This week we counted in tens and ones, using mental shortcuts to count to larger numbers.
History
We sequenced significant people on a timeline.
PSHE
We have been studying the feeling of anger. We learned strategies to cope when we are angry and also how to help others when they are feeling angry.
