LSA': Mrs O'Byrne

This terms Caritas Curriculum Learning - PEACE

Our Caritas Theme is Our Family and Community - Building up the Kingdom of God

Our topic of Peace explores the historical time of the two World Wars and how communities came together in the search for Peace.  During this topic we will be looking at a variety of subjects ranging from Trench life, the Christmas Truce, The Blitz and life at home during wartime.

We will be exploring the cause and effect of both World Wars.  We will look how they bought communities together and how communities worked to support each other and keep morale up.  We will explore War poetry and songs as well as the communication with loved ones both at home and abroad.

We will be looking at skills in art of creating mixed media art, mixing and gradating colours, understanding historical timelines, knowing what resources are reliable and in Computing we will be studying how search engines work.

P.E. 

 Our P.E. lessons will be every Tuesday and Thursday.

Please ensure your child has the correct St. Luke's PE kit.  We will still be doing outdoor PE when the weather turns cold, so navy joggers and sweatshirt will be required.  

NO JEWELLERY is to be worn for any PE lessons; this includes earrings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. 

Other Information

 

Reading

Please ensure that your child reads daily.  They should be reading a variety of fiction and non-fiction books.  It is important that they read to an adult/older sibling as often as possible.  Please ask your child questions about what they have read and encourage them to give opinions about the book.  Reading diaries must be signed by an adult each time they read at home.

Times Tables

Each week your child will be given a times tables quiz to aid their mental arithmetic speed and memory.

Water Bottles

Your child must bring in a water bottle each day.  Our water fountains are currently switched off, so water bottles from home are essential.  They will bring these home each day.

Home Learning

Home Learning will be given each Wednesday, and is due in the following Tuesday,  Each week, your child will be expected to complete a Topic activity (found on the menu inside their Home Learning book and on their Teams account).  Children will also have weekly spellings to learn, plus an maths Active Learn activity (if your child is having difficulty accessing their Active Learn account then a paper copy will be sent home).  

Please support your child with any Home Learning, getting them into the routine of complete all activities each week.  This is great preparation for secondary school. 

 Birthdays

Please be reminded that children are not to bring in party bags or sweets.  Instead, we ask that a book is donated to our school/class library.
