Good afternoon everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend.

Due to the impending solo talks our homework will be slightly different this week. I would ask that if anyone has not managed to arrange their solo talk yet if it could please be done this week. I will be starting to hear the children tomorrow. The information is contained in the post from last week. Please let me know if there are any issues with completing this to allow me to support your child to complete their preparation in class.

Reading homework for this week is:

Book Bandits – The Vet’s Day

Page Pirates – The little book of big reptiles

Word Wizards – This dinosaur

Sound Stars – Can you see cat?

Our sound for this week is a-e. I have attached the word lists for the children to practise these words. Lots of our class are going to focus on writing the words correctly over the coming weeks as we are very good at reading them but find writing them to be difficult.

I have attached a separate word list for the sound stars.

In numeracy we are focussing on strategies for addition and subtraction beginning with adding and subtracting 10. I am not providing specific homework for this at the moment but feel free to encourage some practise if there is time.

Welcome back. It has been a lovely day catching up with everyone’s holiday adventures. Our last term is going to be a busy one with many exciting things coming up.

Our homework for this week is slightly different. I have asked the children to prepare a short solo talk about a dinosaur of their choice. We have learned facts about some dinosaurs in class but the children are free to choose any dinosaur that interests them. They may wish to bring props or pictures to help show what they are talking about but this is not compulsory. I have reassured the children that it is just their class that they are speaking to, something they all do every day. It is important that this be the work of the children to reflect their own learning. We will begin to hear these talks next Tuesday and continue until everyone has performed.

Have wonderful Easter holiday with your families. See you all back on the 19th of April.
