Reading

Here at Northfield St Nicholas, we love to read! We have is Skellig by David Almond. The core text is supplemented by a variety of additional texts, to support children developing their reading fluency and confidence across a range of text types.

All children have a reading book based on their assessment level. Please remember to read at least 3 times a week and log this on BoomReader. 

Every Wednesday, the children have the opportunity to visit our school’s ‘Lost Library’. During their weekly library sessions children can change their existing library books. These are taken home for them to enjoy in their home setting!

Writing

Here at NSN, we follow CUSP for our writing curriculum. CUSP  provides an ambitious curriculum, covering the necessary skills required to be successful readers and writers, who are prepared for high school.

This half  term we will be writing an adventure story based on a natural disaster. We will revisit skills including: speech, use of progressive past tense and using effective devices to describe characters, settings and atmosphere. We will then move on to writing a newspaper report.

Maths

Science

This half term we will build on last term’s learning about the circulatory system and learn about the urinary system. We will learn about the important job of the kidneys, how to ensure we stay hydrated and why this is so important

   Geography

This half term in Geography we will be learning about volcanoes, mountains and how the earth was formed. We will apply our learning when writing  an explanation text and  newspaper report in our writing sessions.
