Reading
We have put your new shared reading book ‘The Garland on the Door’ in your book bags today. Please take a little look over the weekend to familiarise yourself with the text ready for our first shared read on Monday.

Doodle Maths
An assignment has been set for your child to complete this week; it is due on Friday 13^th November. As well as this, please try and spend 10 minutes, 3 times a week answering questions on Doodle Maths to ensure that you are in the Green Zone!

Handwriting
We have been working so hard on our letter formation in our handwriting sessions and the children's letters are continuing to improve. We have been focusing on making sure that we can distinguish between our tall and small letters, and are practising sitting our letters on the line. Any opportunities to practise those alphabet letters at home would be fantastic, we appreciate any time you can put in.

This Week

Jack enjoyed learning about the Domesday book in History, where we conducted a survey of all of the houses, people and animals on our imaginary farms. He also loved the fire drill!

Florence loved Maths this week, where we watched Blockzilla, who wants to play with the bigger number! We have explored greater than, less than and equal to with the symbols to match and used resources to compare numbers.

Ella and Jessica also enjoyed our Maths learning, in particular, our arithmetic sessions where we explored the number ten and the bonds within it through songs, rhymes and using resources to show our understanding. Ronnie loved watching the Number Blocks ‘Ten Again’ video.

Olivia enjoyed learning about our new story character, Rocket, who loves space, planets, constellations and using her telescope.

Mathilda enjoyed exploring Rocket’s bedroom in our English, as well as shared reading where we asked lots of questions about our reading book.

Nina loved our RE lesson this week, where we learned about ‘Mitzvah’, and thought about the good deeds that we have done, and could do to make someone else happy.

Arthur enjoyed our Computing lesson this week, where we explored Purple Mash and it’s 2Paint tool. The children used digital tools to create self-portraits and did a fantastic job!

Have a lovely weekend.
