Triton 2020-2021

Mr Leathers

Welcome to Triton!

This year Triton will be taught by myself (Mr. Leathers) with support from Miss Jones. Ms. R. Jones will also be woking with the children throughout the year to focus on developing key skills required to access the children's learning.

Classroom Information

Every morning the children will take part in a 'morning thinking' task which will be related to either maths, spelling, punctuation or grammar. This is to build up key skills required so it is important that everybody is in on time. The children all have access to Reading Plus and Times Table Rockstars, which we will encourage them to take part in every evening. PE will be taught on a Thursday afternoon, so please make sure that the class come in dressed appropriately.

Topic

Our topic for the Autumn term is the Battles of Britain. We will be looking at WW1 in the first half of the term and then WW2. If you have anything interesting to share, please let us know. We will try to post as much work as possible on our Twitter page each day @DeePointTriton.

English & Maths

During our English lessons, we are looking at After the Fall as a whole-school text initially. There will be a big focus on spelling, punctuation and grammar throughout these sessions.

In maths, we are devleoping our knowledge of number and place value as well as using these skills to develop our fluency and reasoning.

Science

We will be studying animals including humans throughout this term. There will be lots of opportunities for investigations and for the children to develop their ability to work scientifically.
