Boscawen Newsletter 18-09-15

Dear Parents and Carers,

This week in English, we have continued to work on our descriptive writing, as well as beginning to write our information texts about animals.  We will continue this next week.

In Maths, we have looked at addition and subtraction, looking for number facts such as doubles or number bonds to 10 to help us with the calculations.  Next week, we will be practising subtraction by counting up and applying this skill by working out change.

We are developing our understanding of our topic (Why are Humans Animals too?) through dance, art and science.

In PE, we have been learning a new dance and practising different types of balance – can your child practise one leg squats?

Please continue to listen to your child read at least 5 times a week (we are still awaiting delivery of the new reading records and will send these home as soon as we can.)

As always, if you need to talk to us, please come in and see us or email us on esmitheram@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk or sburns@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk .

Thank you.

Mrs Smitheram and Mrs Burns

St Piran Class Newsletter Friday 18th September 2015

This Week

We wrote our own ‘Three Little Pig’ stories this week. The children created their own characters and houses to use in their stories. In Maths we have been focussing on addition this week. The children have been finding all of the ways of making numbers and adding on using tap and unwrap and number lines.

We started to choreograph our own Gymnastics routines in PE and designed our wolf masks in Art and Design.

 

Phonics

This week in Phonics we have learnt the ‘oa’, ‘or’, ‘ur’ and ‘ow’ phonemes. If you have any free time please practise words with these phonemes in with your child. You can find suggestions of words to use in your child’s Phonics Book.

 

Homework

One of our activities in Maths this week has been finding all of the ways of making a number which is called partitioning. The children need either count the spots on the ladybirds or draw the spots on the dominoes to help them make the number 5 or 10. For an extra challenge use tap and unwrap to complete some addition number sentences. Please encourage your child to put their homework book in the homework book box when their homework is complete. At the back of your child’s book you will find a Wow Moment template. Please fill in this template when you have a Wow Moment which you would like to celebrate in School. Other wow moments can also be brought into the classroom and stuck into children’s Learning Adventure Books. The children really enjoy sharing their wow moments with each other and it is great to share achievements outside of School with them so please bring them in.

Support tips:

  • Ask your child to count the spots that are already there.
  • Write down how many there are underneath.
  • Count on to find out how many are needed to make 5 or 10.

 

Hearing Screening

On Friday 25th September members of St Piran Class will be having a hearing test. Please contact the office if you have any further questions or concerns about the hearing test.

 

Mathletics

Please find a Mathletics log in attached to the front of your Childs’ reading record.

 

Many thanks
