Talk homework

Name some of the places we visited on our walk and what people might go there for.

Abacus - The children can access this resource via the website and complete one game as their Mathematics homework. https://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk 

The children have their own log in details, these can be found in their reading diaries. The school code is kmm7 in the bottom box.

Spellings - On Monday the children will be coming home with 5 new spellings to learn. These will be sent home in a handwriting/spelling book so that they can practise at home daily - we hope this will support them in learning to spell the first 100 high frequency words, as well as practise their cursive handwriting. Please return these every Monday so that we can put new spellings in each week. There will be a spelling menu stuck in the front of this book, to give you some ideas of exciting ways to practise learning your spellings at home.

Reading

Please make sure you read at least three times a week and this is then recorded in the reading record book.

Thank you for all of your donations for Children in Need, everyone looks fantastic! 

Within Mathematics, we have ended our topic of addition with some word problems that we all did very well in. We have now moved onto subtraction and we have used the method of crossing out the part that’s taken away.

In English, we have written a whole class poem about mud that linked with our poetry text ‘Out and about’. We have all written a recount of our walk around the village.

During Global learning, we had a very exciting walk around the village to find all of the communal areas around Buckden and identified there uses.

In Science, we have looked at rocks, foil, fabric and glass and looked at the properties of these materials.

“I liked doing Science and Maths.” (Harry).

“I have enjoyed doing my spellings.” (Matilda. M).

“I have like Phoincs.” (Matylda. K).

Within Mathematics, we have been using our additions skills this week. We have been adding the parts to find the whole and using a number line to count on.

In English, we have started our new Poetry book ‘Out and about’ By Shirley Hughes. We have created some amazing story concept maps and these helped us to write about what we enjoy when we are out and about.

Our new Global learning topic is Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. We have learnt about different types of transport and ways of travel.

In Science we are learning about Materials and we have identified what some everyday objects are made of.

“I have enjoyed doing Maths, I liked using the numberlines.” (Harper).

“I liked doing Science and materials.” (Sebastian).

“I liked doing the part, part, whole.” (Ava).

“I have enjoyed doing RE about good deeds.” (Harry).

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).
