READING
Continue to read every night! Please listen to your child’s fluency. It is good to let them read a page twice or even three times- building up their word recognition and really focusing on reading the punctuation - pausing is all the correct places
MATHS - Daily practice
Dear parents we need you help- last week the children were asked to complete 5-10 minutes of TT Rockstars everyday. They need to log on and play in the garage. I have shown them in class. 9 children haven’t been on their account this week. I have had a quiet word with them to explain how important it is to learn these facts and to know that I am able to track their progress. Thank you to everyone who started to make this part of their routine.
Passwords in homework books- display somewhere at home to.
ENGLISH
This week we have read chapter 3 of Ice Cat. Below is a copy of this chapter. I would like you to read this chapter to an adult. When reading please make sure you focus on using the punctuation and pausing when you see a comma or full stop. Start a new sentence with a new tone - its a new mini story. Use commas for a mini pause too.
Parent grade: (are we improving the following…)
1. reading each word correctly and accurately
2. reading in an interesting voice
3. reading at a decent pace - not too fast or slow.
4. Ability to use punctuation
Once you have done this, just like last week, can you summaries what happened in this chapter in 1 or 2 sentences. We will share these next week.
SCIENCE
Find out who was the inventor(s) of electricity. Tell me a little bit about their early life. Can you find out as much information as you can about how their invention came about. How did their invention effect or change our world? We will share our findings next week.
