Literacy Homework (Week 1 of 4)

Big Talk Homework

Twice a year, the children take part in our whole school ‘Big Talk Homework Challenge’.  This is where your child gets the opportunity to prepare and present a talk to the class.  The topic will change depending on the focus for that term.  This term the class has chosen to talk about ‘My Favourite Animal’ to link in with our  Living Things topic. At home, your child should prepare and practise their talk.

Some ideas to include in their talk might be:

• Facts about their favourite animal eg. Where it lives, what it eats, is it a mammal.
• Why it is their favourite animal
• A picture/drawing of their favourite animal

The talk should be ready to be presented the week bg Monday 12th  May. More details will be given shortly (please check Blog) about which day that week your child will be giving their talk.

We look forward to hearing about their animal!

What a busy first week back we have had.  In literacy, we have been learning the ‘ng’ sound.  We drew pictures showing ‘I am strong’, we played ‘ng’ games on the chromebooks, we built strong army bases and strong body suits, we did our ironing and hung clothes on hangers.

This week in maths, we have been learning how to calculate change.  We played a good game on the Chromebooks called Pay For It.  I have attached the link below if you would like to play it at home.

We also had our first class visit from the ECC children. We all had great fun playing together.

We played at the cage outside the games hall this week.  It was great fun.

We began to talk about measure this week and focused on long and short.  We took our learning outside and had great fun drawing, creating and making long and short objects.

We were so excited that the Easter Bunny left some treats for us to find this afternoon. We had great fun trying to find our own and worked as a team to make sure everyone found theirs.

We also made a great job of decorating our eggs for the whole school competition.  Well done to Rosa who won in our class!

Happy Holidays everyone!!

This week we had lots of fun after a very busy term! We made the most of the sunshine with a lovely visit to the park. We also did some meditation with a Body Scan.

We hope everyone has a lovely holiday!
