Hello everyone, the children have worked very hard this week and I am so proud of them, they may be a little tired tonight.

In English the children enjoyed learning and reciting list poems and created a class book with their own poems in along with a poem on ‘Things I did lately’.

Next week, we will start our topic on traditional tales. We will start with the story of Rapunzel. The children will be able to recognise the good and bad characters, make comparisons from exploring a modern version of Rapunzel and retell the story including performing. 

In maths the children learnt number bonds to 20 and created word problems to consolidate their learning.

Next week, the children will continue to look at number patterns to solve more difficult additions and subtractions and double numbers to 15.

In history Mr Berridge (ex caretaker and currently lunchtime supervisor of Little Heath) will visit the class to give the children an insight of how schooling was when he was at this school as a little boy, the lessons taught and how the building and classes have changed.

In science we will continue to research use of everyday materials.

In ICT the children have been practising their keyboard skills and getting familiar with the layout of the keyboard using Microsoft word and we will repeat this lesson  next week.

In art the children will be sketching the outside of the school. First we will do an observation walk around the school and then the children will learn how to  shade using a variety of pencils.

In PSHE we will continue our topic on ‘being me in my world’ focusing on making the class a safe and fair place.

In religious education the children have been learning and exploring why light, a tree and water in Christianity is such an important symbol. Next week we will explore the important symbols in Judaism.

Spellings for next Friday are:

Group 1: the, and, a, to.

Group 2: bear, bare

               bee, be

               whole, hole

The children know their group and they can learn both sets of spellings if they would like to.

Book Fayre will be open for children to purchase books on Thursday and Friday after school in the dining hall.

Wishing you a relaxing, fun weekend.

Mrs Beadle
