This week we will be learning about apostrophes for
contractions. This when a letter or letters is missing such as they’ve, can’t,
won’t etc.
The children will be writing about Charlotte’s web too in
extended writing.
Maths
We are still working on
the 2 times tables with the children. They will have a 2 times table test
on Monday.
This week the children
will be introduced to division and all the vocabulary associated with this
operation (such as: share, group, divide, divide by, share equally, sets of).
The children will learn about the division sign and what it means. Initially
the children will learn to divide by grouping into numbers and they will then
progress on to division by repeated subtraction. The children will
also look into division with remainders.
In 'Grammar' this week the children will be learning about changing
verbs to the past tense by adding ‘ed’.
It is important that children understand what vowels and consonants are
– please do this with your children at home throughout the week.
The children will also have a reading comprehension on Tuesday.
The children will be
starting the story Little Red Riding Hood. We will be especially looking at the
setting of the story and talking about what they can hear, smell, see, taste
and touch in the forest.
We will also be able
to discuss the snacks Little Red riding
Hood take to Grandma’s house. What is healthy and what is unhealthy?
We will be starting to
look at words that start with “un”.
If the children can
notice any “un” words in their reading can they point them out to you?
