Term 2 
Children really enjoyed all the artwork that they produced to celebrate our 100 year anniversary at Milton and they loved the week of celebrations too. We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did! 
 
 
Literacy 
We continue to read daily in class within our small groups. Children are enjoying this and are working on further developing their reading strategies to help them with comprehension skills.  Primary 6 will place a focus on Metalinguistics , Inference and Main Idea within a text in this term. We are becoming confident in using spelling strategies independently, through all areas of our Literacy work. We are developing knowledge and skills in phonemes and common words and are using active strategies daily in partner, group and teacher activities. In term 2, we will revisit ‘Information Reports’. We will further develop our existing knowledge of the features.   
 
Numeracy 
Within Numeracy, we are placing a focus on using Number Talk strategies to enhance Mental Maths skills in Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. We will also ensure that children can use written sum form, looking at layout. We are currently working on Addition and will quickly be moving on to Subtraction, then Multiplication and Division. Primary 6 will play active games to help practise times tables so they can recall facts quickly. We are having fun using ‘Daily 10’ for our daily Mental Maths warm up. There are also lots of mental maths games available to play on Google Classroom as homework too. 
 
Topic
Our topic this term will take us back in time to ‘The Victorian Era’. We will be looking at the history of schools through the Victorian times, fashion, housing, family life, both poor and rich, Queen Victoria, The Poor House and Charles Dickens. We have already discussed and listed what we know and what we would like to learn about this era. We are excited and are looking forward to the artwork, research and lots of different areas of the curriculum we will cover through this topic.
