Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a restful weekend. Homework & News:

Homework

Our spelling sound this week is ‘ll’ as in ‘tell’, ‘fell’ or ‘bell’. We will continue to discuss the difference between single and double letter endings.

Here is a game focusing on ‘ll’ that can be played at home. Some words also contain sounds which we have covered already.

New reading books will also be handed out on Monday. The children are growing in confidence when discussing the beginning, middle and end of stories in class. Please continue to discuss these at home with their reading books if possible.

 

Our focus in class this week will be missing numbers, e.g., ? + 7 = 10. This can be quite tricky but pupils have worked very hard to learn the pairs of friends to 10 and we will now discuss how to use that knowledge to work out a missing number – whether in a calculation within 0 – 10 or using higher numbers.

This video is a great piece of revision for the friendly numbers to 10.

News

This week will be taking part in fundraising for Children in Need. The children are invited to wear spotty clothes to school on Thursday 16th. There will be a spotty disco that the children can take part in, a bake sale ran by the upper school and a ‘Design an outfit for Pudsey’ competition (the prize is a Pudsey bear!). All donations are suggestions, we will welcome any donations for such a great cause.

Thanks for your continued support, the children surprise me more and more each week with their fantastic work!
