Class 2 Weekly Update 19.10.18

We have all been full of the joys of autumn this week in Class 2.
In our English lessons we have continued with sharing lovely reading with our story books and non-fiction texts in Read Write Inc (RWI) and have written more accomplished sentences towards the end of the week. The children have been doing some reading and writing assessments this week which they have done very indeed!
As we are approaching Halloween, the children had the opportunity to write independently about a spooky setting…. Dracula’s castle. The children watched some digital literacy animation to spark their imaginations with a 3D tour of the castle. This was set on a murky, blustery night in Whitby. They were encouraged to use lots of adjectives in their sentences to make their writing interesting. Their talk for writing was delightful to listen to yet again, with some really vivid accounts being given when in role of somebody walking around the ruins of his home.
In maths the children have been trying to master their number bonds within 10.They have been working systematically to try and solve missing number problems and have gone on to identifying the bonds and using them to solve a simple problem. This has been supported by leaning number bond songs, rhymes and lots of practical contexts. They have been using 10 frames to help them make number bonds to 10/20 and learned how to count on from a given number to add. Additionally, we looked at patterns to help solve the addition sentences they were given. We have decided as a class that it is easier starting with the bigger number and adding on the smallest number.
In PE the children have all shown they are budding dancers in their lessons and have worked well both on an individual level and in a partnership. Their ball, balance and co-ordination skills have been put to the test in their Monday sessions too.
New spelling lists have gone out today and the children will be tested on Thursday. We are so proud of the children with how they have taken to learning them every week.
Have a lovely weekend together and I look forward to seeing you next week during parent consultation day.

Harvest celebration assembly

We are looking forward to our Harvest Celebration Assembly next Thursday, where we will celebrate children’s achievements this term.  Please can we ask that you park at the Village Hall, once the school car park is full, and do not park on Bicton Lane where it may cause an obstruction. We hope you will be able to join us.

Wine and cheese evening – Grand total

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the FOBS’ wine and cheese evening. We raised £675 which is a fantastic amount and these much-needed funds will go towards developing our pastoral support room.

Thank you for returning the permission slip and payment for our visit to Chester Zoo.  If you have not yet done so, please can you return it by Thursday 25th October as we need to arrange staffing before half term for any children not taking part in the visit.

Just a reminder that we are holding our autumn term parent meetings next Tuesday. All meetings will be held in the school hall and children’s books will be out ready for you to look at (in their trays) prior to you speaking to your child’s teacher(s.)  Trays will either be in the main corridor (for meetings up until 3:30) or in their classrooms. Thank you.

Read Write inc phonics

This week the children have looked at ‘b’ and ‘e’

For ‘b’ we say ‘Down the laces, over the toe and touch the heel’

For ‘e’ we say ‘Slice into the egg, go over the top, then under the egg.’

Practise sheets :  b         e

Overwrite practise sheets:  Overwrite masdt                  Overwrite ckubf

All through the week the children have revisited the other sounds covered so far and practised segmenting and blending words containing these sounds:

Word-Time-Book-1                   Word-Time-Book-2       Word-Time-Book-3

green words 1

Many of the children have used their phonics knowledge to help them write about the Little Red Hen and to write a bread recipe!

Maths

This week the children in Class 1 have concentrated on:

  • Counting to 5
  • Lining up 1 to 5 in order
  • Identifying missing numbers within a 1 to 5 line-up
  • The key principles of counting:
    • One to one correspondence – match one number name to each item to be counted
    • Cardinality – the last number in the count is the total size of the group
    • Stable order – say the number names in the correct order

 

 

Class 3 weekly update

English – This week we used our ideas and plans to write our own poems about sea creatures.  We used lots of adjectives, verbs and repeating phrases to make them more interesting.  All the children worked really hard on these and they sound fantastic – well done!  Alongside our Read, Write, Inc work we have have focusing on using adjectives in sentences and forming adjectives using the suffixes -ful and -less.

Maths – In maths this week we have been solving problems using related facts (e.g. 5 + 4 = 9 / 50 + 40 = 90) and finding bonds to 100 (tens).  The children have reviewed their knowledge of bonds to 10 to help them find bonds to 100.  They have been using the tens frames to support their working out and solved a range of problems by adding tens up to 100.

The children have also carried out assessments in reading, writing and maths this week.  They have all tried really hard with these.

RE – We continued to look at examples of how we can look after our world and worked together to design a poster to display this information.  The children discussed lots of ideas about how they can look after our world and had a good understanding of this.

Spellings – To be tested on Thursday 25th October
