Reading at KPS - Information for parents
As we enter the Summer Term, we will be learning a new Text Map called "Race to the Moon and Back". The Children will have the chance to write their own adventure stories. Once we have finished this writing topic, we will be moving onto writing Factfiles about Animals and their Habitats.
If you want to help at home, practise writing simple sentences with your child that use capital letters and full stops. Focus on key spellings using the spellings we are covering in class (sent home in the children’s diaries). Don't forget to read 5x a week!
Spellings
Please find an overview of the spelling patterns being taught for the half term. If you want to help at home, practise writing simple sentences using the weekly spellings with your child that uses capital letters and full stops. Focus on key spellings using the phonics we are covering in class (sent home in the children’s diaries).
Handwriting
This half term the children are learning how to write letters using a cursive font. We are practicing how to write the whole alphabet. You can see how to do this here, the children need to start on the dot on the line.
Maths
We welcome the children back to school with a new focus on maths - volume! We will use all that we have already learnt about the four operations to help us add, subtract, multiply and divide before we move onto Fractions and Time.
