We have been learning about our author of the month Roald Dahl and are looking forward to Roald Dahl Day on Friday 13th September.

Today we researched facts about Roald Dahl in ICT and made posters with our partners using the facts.

We were sorting words that make the A sound using three different spellings – ay, ai and a-e.

Thank you for all the homework that has been sent in already.  Continue to use the homework grid and record learning in your jotter.

This week our sound focus is ways to make the A sound – ay, ai and a_e.

Reading

• The Hen Who Wouldn’t Give Up- chapters 1-2
• The Pancake – whole book
• Lost in the Jungle – P18 -32
• The Rope Swing – whole book

Today we watched Mr McMullan demonstrate how to extract honey from the frames.

We practised our maths using Daily Ten questions.

Thank you for all the hard work and effort that went into the ‘All About Me’ presentations. The children really enjoyed sharing them in class this afternoon.

Term one homework went home today with jotters. Complete in any order- some tasks can be done more than once. Record any learning in your jotter and bring to school on  Mondays to be looked at.

This week we are revising the magic e spellings. When e is added to the end of a word it makes the vowel say its letter name.

‘All About Me’ Homework is to be completed for tomorrow.  Children were to prepare a poster to show the class or bring something in to talk to the class about.

Reading Books for this week

• Bunk-Bed Bus – P21- 44
• Kipper’s Diary – Whole Book
• Lost in the Jungle – P 1-17
• The Chase – Whole Book

Thank you

P6/7 reading buddies came to the class today to listen to us read. It was good fun reading together.

Today in PE we had a coach who helped us to develop  our ball skills. We were working on controlling the ball as we bounced it. It was fun.

In literacy today some of us were using dictionaries to find words. We had to use our knowledge of the alphabet and our skimming and scanning skills.
