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!
In English the children have enjoyed asking the Last Wolf some questions about his life. Some excellent examples included: What was life like in the good old days? What happened to your family? What is it like to live in a cosy tree cave?
The children loved learning more about David Attenborough today, and had another opportunity to practise taking notes. We are excited to turn our notes into sentences and complete a Fact File about the famous naturalist, writer and broadcaster who has produced over 100 documentaries!
Science saw the children learn the difference between a habitat and a microhabitat. We will be exploring a range of microhabitats around the school grounds next week, seeing which plants and Minibeasts we can identify within them!
In Online safety this week, the children learned about online identity. We created avatars based on our likes, hobbies and interests – we then talked about how people’s real identity can be different from their online identity, and the need to be aware of this.
Have a lovely weekend.
