Hello 👋 families,

We have enjoyed our Author Study of Julia Donaldson this week. Our main book was ‘The Smeds and the Smoos’. Our character descriptions were fabulous and we also used the iPads to airdrop our wonderful pictures from the ‘Sketch’ App. We liked giving each other feedback by sharing good examples on the smartboard.

In reading we have been working on fluency and expression. We are working with a range of reading partners and practising our key vocabulary together.
For spelling we have continued to practise common words. Please keep this going at home throughout the year. Next week we shall have a short assessment on these words.

In numeracy we have been looking at place value within 100 for our P2s and 1000 for our P3s. We have been working in groups to order numbers and to create the highest and lowest numbers with digit cards.

We joined P1 again for Loose Parts and demonstrated our School Values well.

This week we have also been talking about the importance of persevering and a growth  mindset. We shared the story ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ and have been nominating people in the class who represent our Learner Characteristics.
