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 10^th 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,

Happy Friday everyone!

Please see below home learning but please do not worry the due date is Friday 17^th March.

Home Learning – the children can choose a country to research and write some facts on the following: their capital city, language, surrounding countries, someone famous, a famous landmark and any other facts if they wish to. I would like these to be displayed on the wall, therefore one A4 or A3 size would be perfect.

Please could their home learning be completed by Friday 17^th March.

Wishing you all a great half-term.

Goodbye Esha, wishing you lots of fun in your new school.
