Another lovely week with lots of super learning and children being enthusiastic, curious and creative in their work.
In maths this week, we have been doing lots of adding and subtracting, thinking about whether we are adding to the ones or the tens. Regular fluency lessons are also ensuring that the children are practising and over learning the skills. In English, we have written diaries as the Crow from the fable of the Crow and the Fox. We have also continued to think about complex sentences creating complex sentences using because, if and when. We have also been trying to focus on our handwriting this week and earn some pen licence points. (Handwriting is on the homework this week too. Don’t forget you can earn pen licence points for homework too). In history we have been looking at some of the changes that took place for Stone Age man as they began to farm the land. In RE we have been thinking about being part of the Christian family and what that means for us. We have been thinking about how we become part of the Christian family. In Science the children have been classifying different groups of animals, they have been using research to find out the names of different bones and they have also learned how muscles contact and relax to help us to move. Make sure that they show you their paper muscle and ask them to explain what is happening. In computing the children have been researching and also practising their typing skills. We are very pleased to say that we have some budding typists in our class. Keep up the good work children A great week of learning children, well done. This week has also been our turn to use the trim trail which was so exciting. Make sure that you have a look at our lovely photos.
Let’s Celebrate:
This week our certificates go to Georgia and Rosa. Rosa receives a Bobby Bee certificate for her enthusiasm during learning. You are always so enthusiastic and ready to learn Rosa and you are trying so hard. Well done! Georgia receives a Resilient Sadie Spider certificate for the way that she has kept on trying and trying and has not been giving up when things have got tricky. It has been lovely to see how you have been getting better and better because you have not given up. Well done Georgia—keep up the good work.
We are also delighted that Connor Sean, Leo (again), Max and Ruby Lilly have achieved 100% of their reading target this week. Well done. You have done a super job with your reading. We have reset their targets and all of them are determined to try to reach them again before half term. I am sure that by next week we will be celebrating even more children who will have reached their targets too as we have a whole host of children who are in the 80s. Targets for all children will be reset after the half term holiday.
Things to Note:
· Please make sure that you look at the home learning page for this week’s home learning. This should be handed in after half term. This week’s learning is BOOK BASED. Many thanks.
· Please make sure that children have a coat for playtimes and also a jumper or a cardigan for class time as the weather is getting colder but we are having windows open for ventilation. On cold days layers are best so that if it does get warmer in the classroom they can take 1 layer off.
Thank you for all your continued support and co-operation this throughout the term. Another successful week!
We hope that you have a lovely weekend and have a chance to share some time together as a family.
Take care and stay safe
