Topic

Our topic this term is ‘World Explorers’.  We will be exploring China, France and other countries of our choice over the next few weeks.  This week we are learning about the world map and are thinking about how we can travel from place to place.  As part of this we will be creating a ‘Look how we travel’ display in the classroom.  Please could all children bring a photograph of them either travelling  or in a holiday destination. It could be on their bike to school, in the car to Grandma’s, their first ever experience on a plane or a photograph of them at a travel destination.  We would welcome any train, bus or plane tickets for our travel display too.  Please bring all photographs to school by Monday 16th at the latest.  Thank you.

Maths

Please help your child learn the sums below:

1+1, 2+2, 3+3, 4+4, 5+5.

These are our special maths ‘learn-its’. Please see the information entitled ‘CLIC’ maths on the blog to find out how to do this.  These will be our learn-its for the next few weeks.

Reading

We will be reading twice this week.  Reading will continue to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Later on this week your child will receive a ‘Teach your Monster to Read’ letter.  This is an online reading programme that we will be using for homework this term.  Please look out for it in your child’s reading folder.
