Term Four, Week 2


Well done everyone on a great start to our final term in Room 3. We had a lot of fun together, trying out our cricket skills, listening to some awesome stories by visiting author Jane Buxton, and creating our fabric and fibre school mural. We also worked really hard this week on our doubling and halving in maths, and we focussed on the parts of speech (nouns, verbs and adjectives) to create sensible and interesting sentences. We began our athletics programme with some sprints!

This week our maths focus will shift to place value – recognising the number of tens and ones in a two digit number, and we will look at adverbs (words to describe verbs) as another part of speech that we can use to make our sentences more interesting for a reader. We’ll also be beginning our technology topic for the term, considering ways that we can re-use or transform gladwrap (which is non-recyclable and non-biodegradable) from our school lunches into something wonderful, in order to be more sustainable as a school community. We’ll continue our athletics focus while tuning up our throwing skills, and we’ll be plaiting some friendship bracelets on Friday to wind up the week.

 Please continue to bring your book bag to school every day this term, and to work on your homework (reading, spelling and maths) every night from Monday to Thursday – homework is marked over the weekends, so please ensure that books are returned on Fridays.

This week we welcome back Mrs Fleur Jessop who will be completing our calendar art, and beginning the new fibre and fabric module with us.
