Lessons
Welcome to Waldridge class!
This term we are lucky to be swimming every week and we have been doing really well with White Rose Maths. Every day we learn a new step and then answer questions. We can challenge ourselves with Reasoning questions which make us think hard about what we have learned. We have been using base 10 and beadstrings which really helps our topic of place value. We are really enjoying it!
This year our English lessons are split between Reading and Writing. We’re honing our comprehension skills with lots of reading and discussion which we then put into writing. Waldridge love a class story and so far this term we have heard The Legend of Spud Murphyby Eoin Colfer and now we are reading The Day The Screens Went Blank by Danny Wallace. Being read to is great – it gives us a chance to sit quietly and relax and we can have a good chat about the book afterwards.
We have been doing guided reading too which gives us even more opportunities to look at, read and discuss different types of books. Waldridge loves reading!
Our History topic this term is Roman Britain. Did you know Chester Le Street has Roman remains? We are starting to design a moving toy in DT which has been making us laugh and in PE we are learning to play Rounders.
It’s been a really busy start to the term and so far we are having a great time!
