Hello!

Apologies for last weeks missing blog due to access issues. These have now been solved!

 

Reading

Quackers – Page 1 to 34

Riding the Waves  – Whole Book

Going Into Space – Whole Book

Village in the Snow – Whole Book

 

Spelling 

1 task of your choice from the active spelling grid. How you provide evidence is up to you – good examples will go on the children’s wall.  A signature will suffice though.

 

Maths

Children will undertake 2 “Number Squares” this week.

Circles and triangles – 1 multiplication (using tables 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 10), 1 addition.

Squares and rectangles – 2 addition squares.

Give your child a limit of TEN MINUTES only to tackle each square. Ask them if they have improved their classroom best time. If your child does not complete the square, don’t give them extra time, the challenge is to get as far as possible in the ten minutes.

 

Good luck

Mr C
