Week 4

Welcome to the end of week four 

Hi All,
This week we have been busy in different areas of the curriculum. 
Our PSPE lessons for the next two weeks will be all about how the children are able to look after themselves.
We are using NSPCC activities and resources to help the children understand the serious message of being touched inappropriately by other people is not acceptable. It also teaches them what they should do if this was to ever happen to them. 
Perhaps you can talk at home about this topic to help the children understand this message.











English

The children are working hard to memorize many new words. These words will help them to develop their comprehension and reading skills. 

We have started to find out about how a story is written. 

Next week we will start to try to write our own stories. 



Well done to the children who were able to use the "Look Cover Write Check' method to learn their spelling words last week.

I would also like to say congratulations to the children who have started to read books at home.  

If we think your child needs more time to practice reading the book she or he has, we will not change the book until they can read 

The next book you should look out for is called "A Big Pig"


READING EGGS

Reading eggs is very useful to increase your child's confidence and ability regarding reading skills please try to let them use this website as often as they would like. 

You might want to give them a set of headphones though!!!




Next week we will embark on another new activity.....

We will start to practice our handwriting.



 Maths
We now know the names of many 2 dimensional shapes. We are learning to describe their properties using words like; sides, corners and vertices. 
Our 3-dimensional shape knowledge is growing. The names of some of the shapes are a bit tricky to remember, but there is plenty of time to work on that.
Next week we will be finding out about addition rules.

















Ms Emmi's Group

Shapes, Shapes, Shapes! 

Our big focus this week was all around - shapes. 

We started looking at various shape concepts last week and lead into our inquiry this week. Very impressed with how many new words and concepts the learners were able to take in and start using while discussing their knowledge such as quadrilateral, trapezium, hexagonal prism.  


This week we had a shape hunt, shape games, shape poems - What Shape Am I? We ended the week with sorting shapes into different groups based on their qualities. 

Next week we will be going back to place value and taking a closer look at number patters and making our own number patterns based on their abilities. 










Unit of Inquiry

We have decided that we must not only take care of our own health, but that we must take care of the health of the earth. So we talked about pollution and how we can get a message to others to also take care of the earth. We researched with google how to draw posters with recycling messages on. Then we started to make our own posters. Next week we will talk about the best places for these posters to be displayed at school.





 



Morning Routine

When the children come to school in the morning they have many choices of activities they can learn from with their friends.





Fire Drill
The students practiced what they would do if there was a fire at school. 
They were able to walk quickly and quietly to our meeting point without any fuss or bother. 
Well done our class!!!

How to find Information
We are starting to learn how to search for information using
Google.

 TEAM WORK This week and next week we are focusing on how a great team works together. Such as how we can do things to help each other and what a great team says to each other in ways of encouragement.  Last week we tried to build tall towers. This week our tall towers were built after we had our chat about what makes a team.  I am happy to tell you that we have started to help each other and work together and talk positively together. Maths   We are learning about tens and ones and what each digit means in a number. Miss Emmi's group are also investigating digits and what they mean when we see them.  English We are starting to experiment with letter names and sounds. We are starting to find ways with computers to learn our letter names and sounds. We tried doing our first writing of the year which I can use to compare how much they have improved by the end of the school year.  U.O.I. We are now aware of the reasons we try to eat healthy food....

We hope you had a relaxing break and are recharged for the path to Christmas.  Please can you support your children with reading at home.  The more they read the stronger they will become.  Here at school we will endeavor to change their book when we feel they are ready to move on to  new book. Here are some works we are proud of from last term. Swimming Mr. Dave's Jellyfish Temperature Check Each day at lunchtime we check the children's temperature and get them to wash their hands as part of our covid 19 school policy.  Here are some images of that happening.  "Happy Birthday!"
