English
This week we are finishing our book called The Flood by Alvaro F. Villa it is a wordless book. The children are having to create their own stories to go along with the images. We are going to focus heavily on the beginning of sentences and different sentence types. We will be writing our own disaster story.
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
We will be focusing on multiplication and division over the next four weeks. This week we will looking at multiples, factors and introducing prime numbers. Knowledge of times tables is going to be vital to do this work accurately.
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.
6th November – 13th November
