Highlights:
In English we have completed our retells of the story Katie in London in readiness for innovating the story with our own ideas next week. I wonder where Katie, Jack and the lion will go….maybe abseiling down the side of the Gherkin Building or The Shard! In maths we have continued our money unit and have been working on making £1 with different coins, adding and subtracting money amounts and giving change. Please continue to practise this life skill at home. In science we learned about John McAdam and his huge influence on modern day roads as the finale to our unit om materials. We recreated his road structure using digestive biscuits, raisins and chocolate. Unlike McAdam, we got to eat our road!
Spellings:
This week’s spellings. Please continue to practise spellings at home.
Class Focus:
Reading, reading and reading. Come on class 2, we are consistently near the bottom of all the classes when it comes to anouncing the reading percentages each week in Special Mentions assembly. 72% this week means that only 13 children in the class read three times or more at home. Congratulations to Isabelle who was our star reader this week. We need you to be reading at least three times at home to an adult and getting an adult signature. Reading fluency and stamina are an extremely important life skills. We also want you to be able to enjoy reading for pleasure independently by being able to select an interesting and engaging book to curl up with. Next week, every class 2 pupil who manages five reads or more at home, evidenced by adult signatures and who can talk about what they have read, will get to got to Miss Northen’s office where she will will reward you with a prize or a biscuit for your effort. We will also send a postcard home to recognise your achievements.
