This week in class we have been learning: What a busy term it has been! We have been Geographers and learnt about the four compass directions and what is a rural and urban area. We have been Scientists and have learnt the properties of common materials and then chosen the most suitable for a dog’s bed. We have been Theologians and found out about how Christians and Jewish people believe the world was made. We have been Mathematicians and found lots of ways to make the numbers to 10 and then applied this knowledge to making 20 , found 1 more and 1 less, counted in 2s and solved many addition and subtraction problems. We have been Writers and learnt to punctuate sentences correctly and to use rhyme, alliteration and synonyms in our writing. We have been Artists and learnt about pattern and tone to create a sculpture inspired by Charles McGee. We have been Musicians and found the pulse of a piece of music and we have been Sports Stars to make up dances to variousness pieces of music.

In Phonics: most of the children are now learning the Set 3 sounds (see sound mats in bookbags to support your child with their learning). Please continue to read and change their books regularly. I have also sent home a sheet of QR codes which give you direct links to Phonics videos that we use in school which will enable you to support your child’s learning of the sounds.

PE Days: our days are Monday and Wednesday

Book Bags: please send your child with their books on a Monday to be changed for the week. Please spend the week reading the three books that the children now have in their bags.
