Summer 1 IPC PROJECT : live and let live

What's the big idea?

What do living things such as animals and plants need in order to survive and grow? Do humans have the same needs? What is the difference between a living thing and something that has never been alive? We are going to ﬁnd the answers to these key questions in this project.

Entry Point: 28th February 2019 – Bring in a mode of transport! Does your child own scooter, a bike or a toy car? (details to follow!)

Exit Point: 4th April 2019 – A local walk to sketch buildings and transport in our environment. Helpers welcome!

We will learn a traditional tale and use our own ideas to innovate and write a story, using a classic structure. We will role play our stories using story language for added interest.

We will continue to practise handwriting every day – making sure our letters are the right size and that sentences have the correct punctuation.

We will continue to improve our SPaG knowledge, skills and understanding, in particular: capital letters and full stops.

Home Learning

2 home learning tasks are set every week :

Task	Given out	Due Back
Mathletics	Thursday	Tuesday
Phonics / Spelling	Thursday	Tuesday

Remember:

to read to a grown-up every day
practice your phonics

Dates of Project Homelearning:

Continue to work through the activities in the new grid in your child’s homelearning book. You only need to choose one activity per week. Not all of the activities need to be completed. Please enjoy!

Mathletics is a great way to work on maths at home. Logins are in the front of their Reading Journals.

Please keep enjoying books with your child. Ask them lots of questions throughout to support their understanding of the text. The children still benefit greatly from being read to by an adult as well.

Things to remember

We do P.E. twice a week. We choose two hour slots on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

P.E is on:

Mondays for Hydra 1
Tuesdays for Hydra 2
Wednesdays for both classes

Remember to have your P.E kits in for both these days (including plimsoles).
Make sure you have leggings or tracksuit bottoms as we will be outside for P.E unless it is raining.
PE kits should be in school at all times.

School PE uniform is black shorts (or tracksuit bottoms) with a white t-shirt. PE kits should be in school at all times.

Can You Help?

Do you have knowledge or resources about our project?

Could you give some time to come in to class to help with reading?
