Literacy   

In Literacy, we will be completing our final pieces of work based on the story Emmanuel’s Dream. This week, the children will reflect on their own dreams and goals for the future. They will consider questions such as: What are their dreams? Is there something they would like to achieve? Is there a skill they would like to improve? 

Working in pairs, the children will share and discuss their ideas, brainstorming both their aspirations and the steps they might need to take to achieve them. They will then write sentences describing their goals and explaining how they plan to reach them. 

This week, we will be exploring capacity and volume. The children will learn and use key vocabulary such as full, empty, more than, less than, half, half full, and quarter full. They will take part in practical activities to measure and begin to record their findings. The children will also make estimates about capacity and use non-standard units to support their understanding.
