Home Learning

Reading:

Please read daily with your child and log on Boom Reader or in your child’s reading diary. We will be following up with children who are reading less than three times a week at home. If you would like a paper reading diary to record your reading at home, please let us know and we can provide one for you.

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 – fifteen minutes every day 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 rule, adding a consonant before an ending to words with one syllable, ending in a vowel and a consonant. i.e. pat – patted, swim – swimming.

This week!

Sunny and Hugo enjoyed our RE lesson this week where we learned all about what Muslims do to celebrate Eid.

Charlie and Harry have enjoyed Maths this week where we have been learning the different ways to solve division calculations, including grouping, skip counting and even sharing. We know that we need to look out for key vocabulary in the word problems we encounter, such as ‘share equally’ or ‘groups of’.

We’ve enjoyed lots of three-minute talks this week, including Ruby, Dougie and Grace’s – we learned about fossils, pandas and hockey!

Sophie and Sonny enjoyed Art and DT this week, where we made sliders – a mechanism that makes a movement. Sliders move from side to side, up and down. We are excited to practise making our own lever mechanism next week before designing and making our own information page incorporating both a lever and a slider mechanism.

Phoebe has enjoyed our English learning this week, where we have been looking at newspaper reports and identifying their features. Next week we will be writing our own newspaper reports about the Lonely Beast!

Have a lovely weekend.
