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 at home. If you would like a paper reading diary to record your reading at home, please let us know and we can provide one for you.

Your child will be receiving our new Shared Reading Book on Monday.

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 every day 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 – this week we are looking at apostrophes to show possession, for example: the lady’s hat, the boy’s football, the girl’s shoes.

Don’t forget to practise this week’s spelling rules over the weekend ready for our quiz on Monday morning!
The spellings are: loudest, shouting crowded, counting, growl, mouth

This week!

Amelia has enjoyed Maths this week where we have been practising using a place value grid to add one-digit numbers to two-digit number, and we have been super resilient when learning how to exchange ten ones for a ten in order to bridge through to the next decade!

Bertie and George have enjoyed improving thei handwriting this week, where we have been continuing to practise the cursive script needed to join our letters.

Ollie has enjoyed Science this week where we have been thinking about our bodies when we exercise.

Phoebe has enjoyed Reading this week where we have been learning about Nick Park – he links really nicely with our Art work where we will be using clay to make our Police Badges. Did you know, Nick Park was the creator of our very own Wallace and Gromit Series, as well as Chicken Run!

Jonah enjoyed our Reading Comprehension where we learned about the Police, including what they need, the support they get and what you need to do to be a Police Officer when you are older!

Seb has enjoyed PE where we have continued to practise our throwing and catching.

We are very proud of how our children have practised and participated in our Year 4 and Year 2 Production of The Wind in the Willows – we hope that you enjoyed the show, the children were fantastic!

Have a lovely weekend.
