We all had a fantastically spooky Friday and the children looked great in their outfits. We had lots of fun making Halloween crafts and dancing to Halloween songs. We even had a surprise visit from Mrs Steel. It was her day off but she doesn’t like to miss a good party!
This week we will be working on our skills of prediction in reading. The children will be talking about what they think will happen in stories or when shown a picture and P2s in particular will be encouraged to give reasons for their predictions.
In writing we are starting our block of persuasive writing so will be using lots of powerful words and phrases to persuade others to do something. Most of our writing will be linked to our topic on ‘The owl who was afraid of the dark’.
In maths, the P1s will be learning to count out two different sets of numbers and then add them together. The P2s will be consolidating their understanding of addition and working with bigger numbers. We will be learning lots of different strategies for addition and trying to talk about the strategies we are using.
Homework will be issued every two weeks and so there will be a new home learning grid next Monday 9th.
If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thank you,
Mrs Muir and Mrs Steel.
