Hello all – happy Friday!
The children and I have had another great week of learning.
I cannot believe we are in February already – how the time flies!
Please can I take this opportunity to remind you that
although at Little Heath we do not set ‘homework’, we do expect you read with
your child daily, practise their spellings and times tables and let the
children spend time on their mathletics program. The children are always
welcome to join Homework Club on Wednesday’s so they can access mathletics
should you not have access to the internet at home. If there are any other
questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.
This Week
PE – Just a reminder, if your child wants to wear googles
please ensure they bring in a note of consent from you. Please also ensure all
swimwear is suitable and there are no two-piece swimsuits. If there are any
questions, do not hesitate to email me.
Maths- We have been continuing our recalling and using
multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables.
English – This week’s English we have been continuing with
our fairy tale topic.
Science – We were investigating reflective
surfaces/materials.
Art – We looked at Cezanne’s Basket of Apples painting. Our
aim this half term is to recreate this image as a whole class.

Next Week
PE – Just a reminder, if your child wants to wear goggles
please ensure they bring in a note of consent from you. Please also ensure all
swimwear is suitable and there are no two-piece swimsuits. If there are any
questions, do not hesitate to email me.
Maths- Doubling, halving and associative law. The
associative law is introduced through using cube arrays to demonstrate that (4
x 2) x 3 is equal to (4 x 3) x 2 and pupils are given opportunities to build
their own to secure the concept. Pupils are then introduced to the distributive
law in which regrouping is explored so known facts can be used to solve unknown
facts. For example, if the product of 8 x 6 is unknown, it can be regrouped to
5 x 6 and 3 x 6. Step 5 then applies the distributive law to the multiplication
of 2-digit by 1-digit numbers.
English – This week’s English will be continuing with our
fairy tale topic. We have begun writing our own fairy tale and will aim to
finish this this week.
Science – We will be continuing our topic of light and will
be looking at sun safety.
Art – We will be looking at Cezanne’s Basket of Apples
painting. Our aim this half term is to recreate this image as a whole class.
RE- We be learning
about symbols in Islam.
Geography- We will be reading coordinates on maps.
