Talk homework

Talk about the rolls and travels you have learnt so far in Gymnastics.

Reading

Please see the letter regarding reading expectations in the front of your child’s reading diary. Please ensure your child has their reading folder in school everyday.

Within Mathematics, we have continued our learning journey about part, part, whole models and used our number facts to solve calculations.

In English, we have used question marks when writing questions to ask Beegu. We found out that she likes Spaghetti Bolognese and carrots. Also, that she is lonely as she can’t find her family.

Within RE, we have had some great discussions, discussing the ‘Big Freeze’ illustrations that represented the parts of the Creation story.

We have finished our class reader, The Giraffe, The Pelly and Me, by Roald Dahl and loved the ending.

During our Global learning lesson, we have completed some art work, using areas of the school and produced some textured rubbings of bricks, the playground and the fence.

“I have enjoyed doing Maths and using my facts.” (Margot).

“I liked doing the building rubbings.” (Harry).

“I liked doing Phonics.” (Orla).

“I have enjoyed doing the Beegu spellings.” (Archer).

Within Mathematics, we have had an amazing week of WOW moments, showing our understanding of greater than, less than and equal to, to compare amounts of objects and numbers. Well done everyone!

In English we have read some more of our Power of Reading book ‘Beegu’ By Alexis Deacon. We have used pastels to design what we think her home planet looks like. We have been focusing on our new spelling rule and our progress in using cursive script (joined up writing), in EVERY piece of writing we do, is fabulous! Keep it up!

During computing we have learnt how to take a photograph using an ipad and a digital camera. We linked this to our Global learning goal (Quality Education) and took pictures of places around the school and parts of the building.

Within RE we have read ‘In the Beginning’ By Steve Turner and created a class creation poem.

“I have enjoyed PE this week, learning different types of rolls and doing the walk.” (Harry).

“I had fun writing sentences using my spellings, I wrote Jimmy is a king.” (Jimmy).

“I liked writing my Beegu sentences about how she feels.” (Matilda. M).

“I have enjoyed writing and joining my letters up.” (Ava).
