Week 5

Good Evening!  

Sorry, a bit of a late one tonight. 

Firstly, a huge welcome to Tia's little sister Aria!  Carrie we hope you are feeling well and are getting some rest.  We can't wait to see a photo!  

The week ahead:

  • We are due to visit the library this Wednesday between 10.45 and 12.30pm (weather permitting).  We would love you to join us if you are free. 
  • We are starting to get excited about our next inquiry focus: water.  So much to learn about - can't wait to get started. The children will guide us in their interest but we hope to investigate the water cycle, attempt a number of experiments and look closely at the weather.  
  • We begin Basketball Skills next week (after Queens Birthday) with Terry Stallworth from Hoop Club.  This follows on nicely from our PE focus on sending and receiving large and small balls.  This basketball focus will last 5 weeks, until the end of term. 

  • Writing: we are focusing on two areas: quick writes that are student choice (and focusing on punctuation; adjectives and a 'hook') and our colourful semantics programme that helps structure writing using nouns, verbs and adjectives.  

  • Maths: we are learning to add groups of objects together and write the equation; count on from the biggest number first; and some children are learning to  count through 10s.  We will continue to focus on Place Value using 100s, 10s and 1s and our basic facts. 
See you in the morning! 

Amy and Claire
