Good afternoon all!
I cannot believe that it is only two
weeks until half term - time flys when you're having fun (and learning lots
too). It was lovely to see so many of you at the Harvest Coffee morning. The
children sang their songs beautifully and we have raised lots of money for
Water Aid.
Parents' consultations
Please book your timeslot via the
Parents Evening website. I am free to meet with you all on Monday 21st October
(08:40-12:00) and on Thursday 24th October (16:00 - 19:30). If you cannot meet
me during these times, please email me directly so we can arrange another time.
I have sent home a Poetry Monsters
task from Young Writers. I know the children do like to take part in this and
have the chance to be published in a book. I will be collecting these in on
Thursday October 24th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCAPScHF7uI
Homework
The children will have the opportunity
to practice their spellings during morning work, however, if you could also
support children with learning their spellings this will allow the children to
really consolidate their learning.
I do expect the children to be using
mathletics at home. If you do not have access to a device to access mathletics
or want your child to use mathletics more then the school runs a homework club
on a Wednesday. In homework club the children can use the iPads and laptops to
assist and support their learning.
Please ensure the children are all
reading at home still (even if they’re a free reader).
Next Week
English – We will be continuing our
instruction writing. The children will found out next week they will be completing a top-secret
mission for agent 007 and will be making cocktails (mocktails) and then writing
a set of instructions of how to make their drink. [No spoilers to the children please].
Maths – We will be continuing using
mental strategies for solving addition. Practicing additions and number bonds to 10, 20 and 100 at home will help with this.
Science – Next week in science I will
set a STEM challenge for the children to solve.
RE – Discussing similarities and
differences with Islam and Christianity.
Art – The children will be continuing
their Stone Age art with Mrs Burgess.
D&T – The children will be making
their pencil cases.
Geography – Continuing researching
cities using iPads.
ICT - We will be learning how to use
two hands to type.
