Just to update everyone that we will be resuming our outdoor learning from Wednesday. The children have been missing our adventures outdoors and I have found a massive bag of waterproof overalls that we can wear to enable us to be outdoors even in the not so nice weather.

If children can bring a change of clothes with them if you do not want their school things getting wet or dirty and ensure they have gloves etc to keep them warm.

Hello everyone, I hope you have all had a lovely weekend.

For spelling this week we are consolidating the sounds au, ew, ow and ou. Please see this weeks spelling list below but you can create your own if you wish.

For reading I have allocated a new book for this week:

Sapphires – Sea Snaps

Diamonds – My Life

The Sapphires will be familiar with their book as Miss Kinnaird was a bit silly last week and gave them the wrong one!

For numeracy we are going to be focusing on addition and subtraction strategies. We are going to continue looking at using a number line in our Number Talks as we found this strategy a bit trickier than partitioning.

You could have a go at these calculations using these strategies.

Hello everyone, I hope you have all had a lovely weekend despite the horrible weather.

For homework this week we are focusing on our new sound ‘ou’. Please see the word list below.

For reading I have allocated a new book this week. There are a number of children not accessing Bug Club so please let me know if you have any issues getting signed on or accessing any books.

Sapphires – Silly Jack and the Beanstalk

Diamonds – Shaun the Sheep: Too Many Jobs!

For numeracy this week we are continuing to look at addition, focusing on the column method. Children can have a go at answering these questions and explain their method or they can continue to play the Topmarks games from last week.

Please see attached an overview of our learning for Term 2 🙂

Four Contexts complete

The children have been enjoying practising their poem ‘The Sair Finger’.  I am so proud of them all – thank you so much to everyone at home who have helped the children practise it. The winner of the poetry competition will be chosen tomorrow by one of the other teachers in the base. I am sure the children will all be fantastic and it’ll be a very difficult decision 🙂

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

For literacy this week we are focusing on the ‘ow’ sound as in ‘owl’. Please see the word list for this week below.

I have allocated a new book on Bug Club. Please read this and answer the bugs.

Sapphires – Amazing Trees

Diamonds – I Like to Play

For numeracy we are continuing looking at addition and time. For time we have been looking at o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. Please have a go at these games below.

Hello everyone, sorry for the delay in posting the homework this week. My internet was down last night 🙁

For homework this week I would like you to focus on our new sound ‘ew’. Please see our word list below. Can you think of any more ‘ew’ words?

I would love you to focus on our Scottish poem ‘The Sair Finger’ and be ready to perform this to the class on Friday should you wish to take part in the competition. You could even have a go at creating some actions.

I have assessed the children at their Bug Club levels and will be moving almost all of the children up for next week. Books this week are as follows:

Sapphires – Jay and Sniffer: The Missing Masks

Diamonds – Bug Boy: Spider Camp

For numeracy if you can focus on number bonds to 10 and 20. You can practise them on Topmarks Hit the Button as we need to try and make these more automatic.

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

For literacy this week our sound is au and our common words are: because, week, keep, when. Please see this weeks word list below.
