This month has just flown by and we can’t believe it’s October tomorrow already! We’ve been continuing learning about the Vikings including what they ate, where they lived and which gods they believed in. We hope you enjoyed us writing our secret messages in runes for our homework.
In maths we have finished our lessons about time but will practise what we have learned on a daily basis. It would be great if you could continue to talk about the time with your child at home, using both analogue and digital clocks. Our focus will now be on multiplication and building our confidence and speed with the 2,3,4 and 5 times tables as well as learning new tables. This week we are starting with the 8 times table. We will be encouraging the children to practise their tables at home including counting up in 8s.
Over the next couple of months, we will be focusing on persuasive writing during our writing lessons. This should be lots of fun as the children create arguments to support their points of view.
In PE the children will be developing skills in handball in preparation for the P4 handball festival on 31st October. You will receive an EE2 form shortly for this event.
Some useful reminders:
- Homework is due in this Thursday 3rd October.
- Please label all clothes, especially jumpers, as we already have some which are unclaimed but don’t have names on them.
- Please ensure your child has a bottle of water in class every day.
We are looking forward to seeing you during the parent evening. Thanks for all your support.
Mrs Muir and Miss Clark.
