Good afternoon to all,

This week in English the children learnt how to write an explanation text. We looked at a variety of texts and discussed the layout and present tense. The children created their own explanation text on how to work a pencil sharpener.

Next week, the children will write an explanation text showing the stages and process of riding a bicycle along with a labelled diagram and flow chart on how bicycles move.

 In maths, the children carried out various activities to develop a good understanding on place value and ordering numbers using coins, bead strings, 100 square and base 10.

Next week, the children will be rebalancing when subtracting 9 or 11 along with recapping number bonds using a variety of resources and measuring water for learning capacity. 

Geography - the children will identify features of the UK.

 RE – to continue learning about Hanukah.

D&T – throughout Tuesday morning the children will sew together their Christmas stocking, decorate and then evaluate their creation.

On Monday it is the start of Anti-Bullying Week and for the first day we are asking the children to come to school wearing odd schools to help celebrate how we are all different (the children must wear normal uniform apart from their socks).

On Friday it is ‘Children in Need’ day and to celebrate it being the ‘Great Spotacular’ the children are allowed to come to school in non-uniform as long as one of the items is spotty. We are asking for all the children to make a donation of at least £1 and you can do this by sending in cash with your children or by making a donation online to ‘Just Giving’ (the link was on the newsletter).

Spellings for next Friday are:

Group 1 – my, her, what, out.
