I have explained to the children today what they have to wear tomorrow.

As we have our trip in the morning, the children have to come to school wearing their uniform as normal.

The children can bring a change of top in their house colour for the afternoon to support their house.

I hope this helps solve any confusion.

Miss Hunter.

As this week is Eco Week and Monday is a No Paper Day, I am issuing the homework via the blog.

Spelling – This week the children have a revision week.  To revise the spelling rules the children should use active games and activities. These may include chalk drawing, using shaving foam, spelling aloud etc.

Group 1 rules – soft g, wa as wo, ou as u, air, ch as k.

Group 2 rules – qu, ou, oi, ue, er, ar.

Reading – as normal as books were issued last week,

Maths – Create a tally mark table to show each time the children or a family member has been Eco friendly either by Reusing, Reducing or Recycling.

Eco – There is optional Eco homework that the children can complete if they wish.

All of the changes to homework has been explained to the children in class.

This term the children have a list of maths activities to select from each week. As well as completing these activities the children should be completing at least 5 minutes mental maths work each night.

This will cover recalling number bonds, addition and subtraction calculations, doubles, rounding and times tables. Below is a list of some activities to help with this and some useful websites.

Welcome to P3H blog. Now that Miss Hunter has this up and running more posts will appear shortly.

The children have Big Talk homework tonight. The topic is ‘My First Super Hero Adventure’. Please talk to the children about their story. Who will be in it? Where will it take place? What has happened? If the children can say their story it will make it easier for them to write it.

Thank you Miss Hunter
