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.
