Zakynthos Home Learning – Week Ending 24.10.25

Good afternoon Parents and Carers,

This week in English, we continued and finished with the Whole-School writing based on the book called ‘The Tree and the River’ by Aaron Becker. The children focused on the term ‘resilience’ what it meant and how they can apply it to their lives. They then were given the task of writing a narrative story about resilience, using a ‘fall-rise’ plot shape map. They had to plan, draft, edit and prof read and complete their story with illustrations.

In Maths, the children first started off with ‘Adding two numbers (across a 10) and the found adding with an exchange challenging and so we focused on securing their understanding of adding with an exchange for the tens and one hundred. They also started to work on subtracting two numbers (across a 10).

In Science, we looked at nutrient groups and a balanced diet and in RE, the children learnt about the meaning of Diwali and why it is celebrated by the Hindus and Sikhs every year.

Please find the home learning attached using the link below and we have also included a spelling sheet as extra support.
