Happy Friday!

In English, the children have enjoyed creating command sentences on what they should and should not do for their teacher; we had some very interesting ideas!

Next week, we will be practising for our class assembly, which is on Friday 10th March.

In maths, the children have been learning time: o’clock, quarter past, half past, quarter to and 5 minute intervals. Telling the time is quite a difficult process, please if possible could you regularly ask your child the time in order for them to build their confidence.

Please see below an insight of the topics that we will be covering this term, 

English

We will be reading the story ’15 things not to do with a puppy’. The children will learn commands, apostrophe for contraction and recap suffixes. The children will create a non-chronological report and look at a variety of poems.

 Maths

Problem solving with addition and subtraction in a range of contexts, telling the time, doubling and halving and learn the 2, 5 and 10 times tables to help support multiplication calculations.

 Science

 Geography

Where do I live?

 PSHE

Art:

 Reminder

On Thursday, it is World Book Day; the children can come in wearing their pyjamas along with their favourite book or in their characters costume if they have one.

Spellings for next Friday are:

Group 1 – now, came, about, got

Group 2 – careful, careless, fearful, fearless, happy, happily

Group 3 – happiness, colour, colourful, colourless
