All children need a hat for break, lunch times and PE lessons. Please ensure they are clearly labelled. NO HAT, NO PLAY!

Central Idea

Homes have been influenced by a variety of factors over time.

An inquiry into:

What a home is
The influence of the environment on homes
How and why homes in (the local environment) Hong Kong have changed over time

The children will visit Mei Ho house where they will see how housing in Hong Kong has changed over the years. They will discuss positive and negative attributes of what it may have been like to live in these homes.

recognise the different notes and coins used in Hong Kong
describe, sort and order coins and notes
calculate totals and change needed from given amounts

Money Master Game

Central Idea

Understanding time allows us to make accurate measurements in order to identify, compare, order and sequence events.

Identifying standard units used to measure time
Telling the time on analogue and digital clocks
How we use our number knowledge to help us tell the time and solve real-life problems

The children will solve problems involving elapsed time. There are many time games available on the Beacon.

Over the weekend please refer to the time:

What time is it now?

If we are here for 25 minutes what time will we leave?

How long do you think it will take to get to…?

How long did you sleep for?

Please encourage your child to complete the Mathletics activities set.

Non-chronological reports

This week the children will be looking at how to plan a non-chronological report. The children will then use their plans to write a report, thinking about the following features:

sub-headings & paragraphs
introduction & conclusion
using conjunctions
using interesting and relevant facts

The children will independently use a graphic organiser to plan and write a report about a chosen topic using features of report writing that they have learnt.

Please continue to read and discuss books with your child on a daily basis.
