Bodmin Class - Autumn 2019

1/10/2019

Teacher: Mr Paine
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Lethbridge

Welcome to Bodmin class - Autumn term 2019

The Autumn term in Bodmin class is packed full of amazing enrichment activities and exciting opportunities for learning. Within mathematics we will be exploring number and place value as well as the four operations. These key mathematical skills underpin everything we do in this subject; it is of vital importance that children are exposed to this early in the academic year to ensure a smooth transition into the other topics covered. By providing a strong foundation in number and place value, we are giving children the opportunity to master procedural fluency and develop a deep conceptual understanding of each mathematical topic. As always, we will look to build on prior knowledge and extend the children's understanding by providing opportunities for reasoning and problem solving.
Our English lessons will provide an opportunity to explore both non-fiction and fictional texts. Within the first half of term we will be looking at the phenomenal Shackleton’s Journey – an epic tale into the legendary ship Endurance and the perilous adventure that Ernest Shackleton went on. Furthermore, we will be exploring a selection of fiction pieces that will spark creativity and encourage increased writing stamina.  
History will be the key focus for the first half term; children will be exploring some of the challenges that the modern world face. Specifically, we will be looking into the United Arab Emirates and how this financial powerhouse has risen to economic royalty in the last century. In comparison, children will also be investigating Anglo-Saxon Britain. What challenges did these post-Roman invaders face as they settled into Britain?
The wider curriculum is of upmost importance to Boasley Cross and so we will be taking part in bespoke drama classes with Harriet Davies (Okehampton College), in preparation for the school’s Christmas performance.
​Finally, Bodmin class will be investigating the work of artists Henri Matisse and Andre Derain – these famous artists developed their own unique style between 1900 and 1905. We call this style Fauvism and we will explore the techniques used by these artists in our art sessions.

Teacher: Mrs Gardner
​Teaching Assistant: Mrs Simmons

Welcome to Dartmoor class – Autumn Term 2019

Dartmoor class currently has 18 children, Years 3 and 4. Our Autumn term is packed with challenging, fun and engaging activities that look to stimulate learning in the safe environment of Boasley Cross Primary School.
Our Autumn Term is focusing on what we find challenging, both on a personal and global level with the question of “What challenges face the Modern World today?”
Our Maths focus this term will help us to consolidate our understanding of Place Value and number, working on column addition and subtraction. Our English will focus on both fiction and non-fiction texts which will also teach us vocabulary needed for our Science subject of skeletons.
Our History work at the beginning of term will follow the Anglo Saxons and how they settled in the UK; we will then contrast their lifestyle with modern day living in the United Arab Emirates – one extreme to the other.
After half-term, we will learn all about rivers in our Geography topic work; discussing different physical features of rivers and the technical vocabulary we can use. 
Throughout the term, we will be working hard to show how we can be 'Respectful, Resourceful and Resilient'.
Please see our Curriculum Overview for more details on our learning areas.

Pre-School): Miss Furneaux

 Welcome to Littlemoor class - Autumn term 2019 


Littlemoor class has 14 children, Early Years Foundation Stage, Year 1 and Year 2.
Our Autumn term is an exciting mix of outdoor learning, trips and visitors, creative curriculum and, of course, lots of fun and engaging learning! Forest school sessions are to continue for each child and there will be plenty of opportunity to learn outdoors and get messy! Littlemoor are focusing on our key question this term - What is a challenge? -  We have had lots of opportunities for discussion and have been challenging ourselves in our learning. 

The core subjects of Mathematics and English are taught in the morning with extra guided reading sessions and Phonics. The children in Littlemoor have roles and responsibilities in the class showing respect for the environment we live in. In Littlemoor, we enjoy emergent learning through play, exploring and investigating everything we find interesting. 
Our Pre-school is thriving and the children are integrating into school life well. We have welcomed new additions to our pre-school and are proud to be able to provide an excellent start to their education through the Reggio Emilia approach to early learning.
Please see our curriculum overview for more details on our class learning areas. 
Home learning tasks have been set and are in our Home Learning area.
