Good afternoon,

Homework and news for the week:

Spelling: This week we will be looking at the sounds ‘y’ as in fly, cry, dry and my. The class will also be handed out a spelling challenge grid.  One activity from the grid should be completed each week if possible.  This can replace or add to the sentence job normally completed on a Wednesday.

Reading: New books will be given out this week. Some children will be having their reading book for two weeks if on a certain colour band. These children should be discussing their books at home during their second week. Bookmarks with questions to discuss will be given out this week.

Maths: We will be focussing on halves in maths lessons this week. The children will be given a worksheet to complete at home, asking them to half numbers and some shading in. This is a link to a useful maths game and children can choose the ‘halves’ game:

Check in with the blog again tomorrow to hear about a special homework project this term! 

News

Big Pedal: We will be outdoors everyday this week to take part in the Big Pedal. Helmets must be worn on bikes and it would be safer if children with scooters wore helmets too, however that is up to individual parents. Bikes will be stored in the area outside our classroom during the day.

Reading Challenge:  If possible could everyone please return their reading passports to me by Friday 27th April?  This means I can total up the number of books read by our class this year.

Thanks for your support. Have a great week.

Miss B
