I was so impressed by the effort that all the children had put into their solo talks! Thanks to all the adults who were interviewed by the children about their jobs. They were so confident and enjoyed sharing what they had learned. Here are some pictures.

Spelling
We discussed the sound ‘ar’ today and came up with some fantastic words! The spelling words we chose were:
star, car, arm and art.
Our four common words this week are:
at, be, this and have.
As always, please ask if you have any queries either through the homework diary or at the end of the day.
Please remind children to hand in any letters they may have in the mornings along with their diary.
Some letters have been placed in your child’s book bag today.

Just to let those who have signed up for the literacy cafe know that, due to Mr Collins being off ill, the cafe planned for today has had to be postponed. On his return Mr Collins will be in touch to arrange a new date for the final session. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
As part of STEM week which is running throughout next week, from Monday 1st October, we will be engaging in a number of challenges.
We are looking for plastic containers, like strawberry, grape or tomato punnets, and cuboid sized tissue boxes, or similar.
Many many thanks for your ongoing support. Please send in any of the required pieces from tomorrow.

Hello!
This week the children will be doing their solo talks in class. I have been so impressed with those that have been done so far. It is clear that the children have worked so hard preparing these and they have all been delivered with enthusiasm and confidence, they are great! I will upload all pictures once each child has had their turn.
All homework for this week is due on Friday. The children have put Sp for spelling and M for maths in their homework diary to save time when writing it in.
Reading – Each child has been given a new reading book which they will read aloud in class.
Maths- In class the children are looking at different ways of making 10. The homework for this week is the number bond to 10 worksheet.
Spelling – The spelling sound for this week is ‘qu’. In class we looked at different words that have our sound and the children selected the ones that they wanted to do for their homework:
quick, quack, queen, squid
The four common words his week are:
with, his, they, I
If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask via the homework diary or at the door at the end of the day.
