Our Learning this week.
English:
Our English work this week has been based on The Barnabus Project written by the Fan brothers. We have looked at different word classes, coordinating and subordinating conjunctions and expanded noun phrases.
Maths: In maths we have been thinking about place value (numbers up to 10,000) including 0 as a place holder.
Science: The children have started their learning about sound.
Music: We have been busy learning songs for our Harvest Festival performance.
Art: In art the children have been sketching fruit linked to our Harvest Festival.
Homework:
Maths: Please complete the assigned sessions of Times Table Rockstars that have been set. You can log in at this link https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school. The children should be completing 15 minutes per week. This will be 5 minutes in the Soundcheck area and 10 minutes in the Garage. Soundcheck is going to be an important area to keep practising throughout the year.
Your child should also have a TTRS heatmap in their yellow reading logs. We have talked about these in class and will discuss them more during parents’ meetings in a few weeks time.
Reading: Please read five times a week at home. Reading completed in school does not count towards the five times. Please remember to send in reading books with your child
every day.
Spellings: Both classes should now be able to access the spelling homework. If your child needs their login, please can they let their teacher know. They will need to complete 8 games.
We hope you have a good weekend.
Mr Seldon and Mrs Loudwill
