Reading

Here at Northfield St Nicholas, we love to read! We have five reading sessions over two weeks, following the CUSP curriculum, which supports our phonics curriculum. Lessons focus on a core text. 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. This  half term our core text is  ‘Grandad’s Island’ by Benji Davies. Alongside reading lessons,  all children have a reading book based on their assessment level. They will read this at school and must read at least 3 times a week at home and log this on BoomReader.  https://www.boomreader.co.uk/  If you need support with this please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Every Friday, 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.

This half term we will be developing our use of adjectives to write character descriptions.

Maths

At Northfield St Nicholas, we adopt a Mastery approach during our daily Maths lessons. The mastery approach supports children in becoming fluent and confident mathematicians. Maths lessons include ‘Flashback 4’ where children  recap 4 previously learnt skills, fluency activities and opportunities for children  to apply their knowledge to reasoning and problem solving. This half term, we will be covering the following Maths units: place value to 100 and addition and subtraction.

Please remember to log on to Times Table Rockstars 3 times a week:
