Claas 10 have been working in groups to create a fraction wall today in preparation of their new learning. They are going to come in really useful over the next few lessons!

We are loving times tables rockstars in class 10! It is really helping with the rapid recall of the children’s timestables. Last week your child should have come home with a letter with their personal login details. If you can’t find the letter, please pop in to class to see me.

I have challenged my class to make it into the leaderboard!

Today we found out what the front cover of our new class book is! We had lots of questions about our new text and we also found out lots if information too. Well done class 5 great collaborative work.

Miss Hilton and Mrs Roe

Some of our first pieces of homework since Christmas. Charlie has been practising column method multiplication as well as his spelling and Thomas has been making a volcano on minecraft!!

Well done to all the parents and children who have been taking part in our reading challenge. Some children received their bronze and silver certificates last term. Who will be the first person to reach gold by reading 100 books? The reading challenge is displayed in the F2 shared area.

If you would like any support with home reading please speak too your class teacher. We will be able to give you ideas about how to engage children in early reading and we will explain how their reading skills will develop throughout the reception year.

Please try to send books to school everyday so that we can sign your child’s reading diary when they have read to an adult in school. Books will only be changed on Tuesday and Fridays. Where possible, please try to read books more than once as this helps children to become more familiar and confident with the books they are reading. You may find that your child will receive the same book twice for this reason.

Please remember to sign the reading diary every time your child reads at home so that we can move them on in the reading challenge

This week we have recapped the phase 3 digraphs we already know. Next week we will continue to learn even more digraph sounds! We will be learning to spot these in words and we will be learning how to write words containing these sounds.

Sounds we know: j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh th

Next we will learn: ng, ai, ee, igh

Home Learning: Can you spot any of these sounds in words? This could be in your reading book, on signs or in words written by your parents. If you share you learning with us you will receive 10 hps. Comment on the blog or in your homework diaries to receive your house points!

The children have loved using the new resources outdoors and can’t wait to see what else is going to be added.   They have especially loved the new chalkboard, dancing ribbons and maths zone.    Can’t wait to see what learning happens in the next few weeks.
