Home Learning

Reading:

Please read daily with your child and log on Boom Reader. We will be following up with children who are reading less than three times a week.

Handwriting:

Any opportunity to practise writing your letters using our cursive script at home would greatly help with developing and improving your child’s handwriting. We are focusing on ensuring our small letters are small, our tall letters are tall (and long) and that they are consistent in size.

Maths:

Please practise on Doodle Maths – ten minutes daily will help your child stay in the Green Zone! We will set an assignment for your child to do each Friday, to be completed by the following Friday.

Spellings:

We will be sending home a list of words for your child to practise at home each Tuesday.

Don’t forget to practise this week’s spelling rules over the weekend ready for our quiz on Monday morning!

This week!

The children had a brilliant time on our locality walk this morning where we identified a range of human and physical features around the village. The children were so well-behaved and represented our school so well to the many villagers we greeted along the way!

In Science this week we enjoyed sorting and classifying different objects, we recapped the features of living things (using MRS GREN to remind us) and then decided if different things around the school and the grounds were living, dead or whether they had never lived. We had an interesting discussion about sticks and branches and which category they should be sorted into!

In Maths this week, we have been representing numbers from 10-100 using place value grids, part-whole models and bar models to show the place value of each digit. We ended the week looking at number lines and estimating where these numbers would go based on which ‘decade’ they belonged in by looking at the tens digit.

We’ve been learning all about wolves in our English learning this week, and developing the skill of taking notes whilst watching some really interesting videos! The children then had a go at turning some of their notes into sentences ready to start creating a fact file next week.

Please don’t forget to bring your non-perishable items to school on Monday ready to take to the Church with us as we celebrate Harvest Festival. If you are joining us on the walk to/from the Church, please meet us outside the Office at 9:05am where we will be leaving promptly to start the service at 9:30am.

Have a lovely weekend.
