On Monday 24th September we will be going for a walk around the school grounds including forest school please could the children bring in additional appropriate footwear e.g. wellies as the school grounds are expected to be wet.
English
Over the next few weeks during English lessons we will be using the book The Princess’ Blankets by Carol Ann Duffy to create our own traditional tales. We will be focusing on presentation, vocabulary and sentence structure.
Spellings
At the moment there will be no spellings sent home to learn as we have changed the approach we are using in school. However within the Home School Records we may write a word for your child if they are really struggling with spelling it.
Maths
Over the next few weeks we will be focusing on the place value of digits within a number. We will look at whole numbers up to 1 000 000. We will look at adding and subtracting multiples of 10 000 e.g. 427 000 is 40 000 less than ?? In this question the children don’t need to use column addition and should be able to mentally work out they only need to change the ten thousand digit.
PE
This year PE will be on a Tuesday. The children will need both their indoor and outdoor kits on this day.
Homework
Homework will be set on a Tuesday and collected back in on the following Tuesday. So that you know what homework has been set we will make a note of it here every week. Further to this we would appreciate it if you could find time to listen to your child read three times a week. The children are now getting old enough where they should be able to write in their own Home School Records what they have read.
