Class 3 Homework – due in Friday 14th October

Dear Parents/Carers,

Class 3 have been set a homework on purplemash this week. Their homework is to create their own Marvellous Medicine and write the instructions of how to make it. This is reinforcing work we have done in class so children will know they need to use time and cause conjunctions, imperative verbs and adverbs if they can.

Your child has been taught how to use Purplemash this week and has been given their password. If they can not find this please let me know so I can print them another copy. The homework can be completed on laptop or iPad devices. If there is a problem and your child is unable to complete their homework online please let me know so I can supply them with a paper copy.

Many Thanks,

Miss Barratt

Class 3 Weekly Update

Class 3 have been working hard this week!

English: We have continued our work on George’s Marvellous medicine. The children have planned and written a diary entry in character as George. They have also written their own part of the story, imagining what would happen to Grandma if they gave her their medicine which they each created last week. We have looked at conjunctions and adverbs this week and will be having a more in depth focus on conjunctions next week.

Maths: We have been learning mental methods for addition this week. We have revised adding two 2 digit numbers mentally and have learned how to add 10s and 100s to three digit numbers by using our knowledge of place value to help us.

Science: We carried out our investigations which we had planned last week. We were very good at making sure our test was fair and our results were accurate.

RE: We have been thinking about how we can be a good neighbour to each other and have created our own recipes to explain what you will need.

PE: We have continued our gymnastic work and games work this week.

Computing: The children have learned how to log into and use purple mash this week. Please look out for homework being set on this.

Phonics this week

Over the last few days the children have looked at , listened to and written – ‘b’  ‘f’   ‘e’

When we write ‘b’ we say, ‘Down the laces, then over the toes.’  For ‘f’ we say ‘Down the stem and across the leaf.’  For ‘e’ we say ‘lift off the top and scoop out the egg.’

All the sounds and their actions can be viewed on this powerpoint

Class 4 Homework

In Maths we have been revising and practising methods for addition and subtraction. This week we have looked at different methods for subtraction, including counting up on a number line and using the more formal column methods. We have also talked about which methods we are more confident with and which methods are more efficient for different types of questions.

Please ensure children complete their homework by Monday so that it can be marked and new homework stuck in before it is due to be sent out again next Wednesday.

Singing in phonics

Today the children looked at the sound ‘u’ and practised writing it.  When writing ‘u’ we say – ‘ down and under, up to the top and down to draw the puddle.’

We then sang our ‘u’ song and recorded it to show our Mums and Dads.
