We have had a great week in Class 3 and the children are settling back in well. Here is a brief overview of what we have been doing in English and Maths.
English – We have been doing some work for display to make our classroom look lovely! The children have written about their summer holiday and have completed a book review on their favourite book. Next week we will begin our work on Roald Dahl.
Maths – We have been revising what we already know about place value. The children created their own ‘Place Value Museums’ for me where they used equipment, pictures and number sentences to explain what numbers are made up of, e.g. 10 + 10 + 10 + 4 = 34, 30 + 4 = 34, 20 + 14 = 34 etc. We have been revising how to look at numbers in 10s and 1s and next week will progress onto 3 and 4 digit numbers. We have also done some problem solving using our knowledge of place value to help us.
Spelling – We have done some revision on the rules for adding the suffixes ‘ed’ and ‘ing’. We will continue to revise this next week. Please bear in mind that the first few weeks spelling often consists of revising spelling rules and patterns already taught and it may take some time to ensure your child has been put in the appropriate spelling group. Therefore your child may change groups over the next few weeks but assessment will be used within school to decide this. We always stress to the children that it is not just about getting all your spellings right on a Friday, but it is about getting them right in your independent work everyday.
PE – The children had their first outdoor PE lesson today which they really enjoyed. Please can you ensure the appropriate kit is always in school, particularly on a Tuesday and Friday. Indoor and outdoor kit is necessary as well as trainers.
Homework – The children have been given geography homework this week due in for next Friday. Please see the link below for details.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Barratt
