Welcome to our blog.
Homework
The children received
homework again and have a set of new spellings to learn.
There will be a spelling
test every week. A few children have not been learning the spellings and this
could really help them in their writing if they do.
They have got a
comprehension to do every week too as well as sentences or writing target
depending on what they have been told in their homework book. Year 2 have my
maths on line too and the passwords were sent out again last week.
Reading
The children need to
read at home at least three times a week. The children need to be heard read
even if they are a free reader. It really helps them if you can talk about the
book and ask them why something is happening or how something is happening as
well as about the story or information itself. We find that the children who
read at home make more progress than those who do not. Thank you for your
support.
RE
The children will be continuing
with the topic called SPECIAL PEOPLE. The children will thinking about the qualities that special people
have. They will be thinking about Jesus as a special person and some of the
Bible stories. The children will be writing a prayer about special people.
This Tuesday we are going up
to church in the afternoon to have a look at the inside of a church. Please
return letters with permission slip and if you are available to walk up with
us. Thank you.

This week we will continuing with our work on Goldilocks and the Three
Bears. We will recap the story and practise retelling it to each other. We will
be looking at how inverted commas/speech marks are used and we will be working
towards planning and writing our own version of the story later in the week,
using a story mountain style plan.
Children will also complete a reading comprehension.
Maths
We will continue to look at money, as most children
struggled with this last week. Year 1 children will have more practise at
recognising the coins and then working towards adding up the totals of coins.
Year 2 children will be combining £ and P to count and make totals, as well as
moving on to solve word problem style questions. Please encourage your child to
look at the different coins at home or when out shopping and help them to
understand that there is more than one way to make certain values.

We will also be reviewing commas in a list in sentences. The children will also
be completing a comprehension and playing spell well to learn the common exception

Topic
In our topic work this week, we will be looking again at ocean animals

parts of their bodies such as gills, fins etc. and children will be able to
start explaining how they are suited to their surroundings. We will also be

such as mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians and birds.
