This week has flown past!

Thank you so much to the parents who were able to make it along to the Meet the Teacher session – it was great to be able to chat to you all and share some of the exciting things we have in store this year!

We have finished our charter and thought you might like to see it –

What a suprise – it’s Disney-themed!

We have had the chance to ‘play’ with the Numicon resources and loved when Mrs Stewart gave us challenges to complete! we are looking forward to using this to help us with our learning in Numeracy this year. We’ve also started to have regular Number Talks in the class, this lets us talk about the strategies we are using to work calculations out mentally.

We are continuing to work hard on our handwriting and have started to join up some of the letters we have already learned. We used our Big Talk homework to help us write a personal piece of text this week. Our writing activities require us to work quietly so that we can concentrate and, although that can be a bit challenging, we have a couple of strategies that are helping us – Lauren suggested we do our focus activity before we started our writing task and we also listen to Chopin while we write, as it helps with flow and concentration!

This week, with Mrs McGlynn, we really enjoyed our symmetry lesson and can’t wait to continue with it next week.

Homework begins this week and all tasks, instructions and due dates will be included in your child’s homework jotter – this week  there will be spelling, reading, Big Talk and Numeracy homework. In addition, please look for learning targets for your child, which will be added into their homework jotter. These targets reflect the teaching and learning that will take place over the next 6 weeks.

Could you please ensure your child has their homework bag in their schoolbag every day, as different tasks will be given out on different days? If there is anything you are unsure of, please get in touch!  Thank you for your continued support!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! 🙂
