We’re at the end of another week! How quickly time flies when you’re having fun! 

We’re really enjoying our music lessons with Mr Baker. We learnt about body percussion and listened to some of the classic, ‘We Will Rock You’ by Queen. We have also been learning some other songs throughout the week in class. You might like to practise this song at home too or teach it to someone you live with: https://vimeo.com/508398322 

In maths we have been using dienes to show and partition numbers into tens and ones. 

We have been comparing numbers using the equals, more than and less than symbols: 

The dots represent the numbers being more or less to help show which sign is which.

We have also used a game called hit the button to help practise some of our times tables. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button 

In literacy we have been continuing to read ‘Here We Are’ by Oliver Jeffers.You might want to listen to this book which is by the same author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hipx6HJs4XQ

We’ve sent home some different spelling methods which the children may use to learn their spelling target words (these have been sent home so you can see some of the words the children will be learning next week). 

We’re also sending a yellow home learning book home on Fridays with a challenge in. Please can these be returned by the following Wednesday and feel free to speak with one of us on the gate if you have any questions. 

We hope you have a wonderful weekend. We can’t wait to see you on Monday!
