Maths \u2013 We have moved on in maths from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division.\u00a0 We continue with our daily times table practice to ensure fluency and accuracy.\u00a0 A good knowledge and understanding of times tables will really help support the children with the multiplication and division lessons.<\/p>\n

Arrays:\u00a0 We have been looking at different ways to represent times tables including arrays which show how to group numbers together is a very visual way.<\/p>\n

Below is an array depicting the sum 4 x 6 = 24 and 6 x 4 = 24.\u00a0 Making these visual connections helps to understand that it doesn\u2019t matter which way round the sum is, you still get the same answer.<\/p>\n

Literacy<\/p>\n

We have recently finished our exciting class novel, \u2018The Nowhere Emporium\u2019.\u00a0 The children have completed a lot of their creative writing based around the novel and have produced some amazing stories.\u00a0 We have also started the sequel to \u2018The Nowhere Emporium\u2019, called \u2018The Elsewhere Emporium\u2019.\u00a0 Our main characters are on a new adventure and I am excited to find out where it leads us!\u00a0 The children recently wrote a story based around the novel where they found themselves in a carnival and had to describe what kind of magical event would take place when they entered one of the tents.<\/p>\n

Here is an example of one of the stories, well done to the writer who followed our class criteria for writing which is linked to the curriculum for excellence expectations and outcomes.<\/p>\n

Example of our \u2018Elsewhere Emporium\u2019 stories.<\/p>\n

Return to school.<\/p>\n

I am very much looking forward to returning to school on the 15th<\/sup> of March and I hope that your child(ren) is too. If you have any concerns about your child and their return to school please do send me an email and I will be glad to help.<\/p>\n

Best Regards<\/p>\n

Mrs. Baddeley<\/p>\n
