Dear Parents and Carers,

This Week, we have been learning more about our topic, Sowing and Growing, and have now planted some seeds. We are carrying out an experiment to find out what the seeds need to grow – some are outside, some are in the fridge and some are covered up so they don’t get any light.

In Maths, we have looked at using partitioning to help us with addition and also practised using number lines. We have begun to use counting on to help us find the difference between 2 numbers as an alternative way of subtracting.

In literacy, we wrote letters to Jack to thank him for sending us the seeds to plant for our experiment.

During PE lessons, we are practising for Sports Day, which we hope will be just before the half-term holiday – we will confirm the date next week. Some children are still not bringing in PE kit – please check with your child that they have a full PE kit with trainers. Thank you.

Spellings and homework will be back to normal next week! Spellings will be sent home on Monday to be practised at home ready for a test on Friday and homework will be sent home on Wednesday to be returned the following Monday.

As always, if you have any questions, please email on sburns@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk or esmitheram@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk or drop in to see us. Thank you.

Mrs Burns and Mrs Smitheram.
