Home Learning

Reading:

Please read daily with your child and log on Boom Reader. We will be following up with children who are reading less than three times a week.

Handwriting:

Any opportunity to practise writing your letters using our cursive script at home would greatly help with developing and improving your child’s handwriting. We are focusing on ensuring our small letters are small, our tall letters are tall (and long) and that they are consistent in size.

Maths:

Please practise on Doodle Maths – ten minutes daily will help your child stay in the Green Zone! We will set an assignment for your child to do each Friday, to be completed by the following Friday.

Spellings:

We will be sending home a list of words for your child to practise at home each Tuesday.

Don’t forget to practise this week’s spelling rules over the weekend ready for our quiz on Monday morning!

This week!

In our English this week we have been exploring the function of different words in our writing. We have looked at the role of the adjective within a sentence – to describe a noun. The children had a go at writing a range of adjectives to describe some different objects such as a teddy bear, a cat, a flower and a puppy. We then took it one step further by writing some noun phrases about different elements of our story, The Last Wolf. Some of our favourite noun phrases included: sticky honeycomb, adorable fox, beautiful flower, tiny ladybird and big, buzzy bees.

In Maths this week we have been comparing numbers using inequality symbols – greater than and less than. The children have shown a fantastic understanding of this!

In History this week we have begun to dig into the life of the wonderful David Attenborough! We learned about his early life and his career, and that he was knighted not once, but twice by Queen Elizabeth II in 1985 and by Prince Charles (now King Charles) in 2022 for his work and stewardship towards our planet.

Have a lovely weekend.
