St Piran Class are looking brilliant today supporting the WWF on ‘Wear it Wild Friday’.

After half term each class will be using the School swimming pool for swimming lessons. Our class will be going swimming on a Monday afternoon and on a Thursday morning. Each child will need to have a named swimming costume and a towel in school with them on these days. If you would like your child to wear goggles, please bring in a note confirming you give permission for your child to wear goggles whilst swimming. Armbands will be provided.

Thanks

Homework

For your homework I would like you to complete the money worksheet. You have a collection of coins and a total at the end of the box. You need to count the coins that you have and then count on to calculate the coins needed to make the total in the box. As an extra challenge create and solve your own addition and subtraction money number sentences.

Support tips:

• Record the total of the coins already in the box after counting them.
• Use real coins to help your child see which coins they need to make the total.

Phonics

After half term we will be revisiting some of the phase 5 phonemes which we are not so confident with. In the first week back we will be looking at ‘aw’, ‘au’, and ‘ue’. Remember to use your phonics packs to help your child practise their phonics.

Swimming

After half term each class will be using the School swimming pool for swimming lessons. Our class will be going swimming on a Monday afternoon and on a Thursday morning. Each child will need to have a swimming costume and a towel in school with them on these days. Armbands will be provided.

SEAL

After half term our SEAL topic will be exploring change. Miss Dodson has asked that the children bring in a photograph of themselves as a baby or a younger age to discuss how they have changed. Please could all children bring in a photograph of themselves after half term. Photographs will be returned.

Outdoor learning opportunities

After half term St Piran and Penhaligon classes will be participating in weekly outdoor based lessons. These lessons will take place on the beach when the tide allows or in our environmental area. The children need to be prepared to be outside whatever the weather on a Wednesday morning.

We recorded our own audio commentaries . . .

This week

This week in Maths we have been learning about division and multiplication. The children have been multiplying and dividing, using objects to support them.  In English we recorded our own audio commentaries for our sensory trail which we will be taking Trevithick class on next week.

Homework

For your homework I would like you to write about something you have done this weekend or a previous weekend. For example you might have gone to the park or to the beach or attended a birthday party. I would like everyone to write at least one sentence. Don’t forget your capital letters, full stops, and wow words. As an extra challenge write a diary entry about one event which took place during the weekend.

Support tips:

• A recount is a type of text which re-tells an event. It is written in the first person and in the past tense.
• Events should be written about in chronological order.
• Help your child to read through their own writing to spot their own mistakes.
• g. First I went to the swimming pool. Then I got changed. After that I got into the pool and had my swimming lesson.

Phonics

Next week in phonics we will be learning about the alternative spellings for ‘oo’ and ‘sh’.

Sports day

KS1 sports day will start at 2pm on Thursday. If due to the weather we need to cancel it, we will let you know on Thursday morning. Hopefully we will not need to rearrange but should we need to we will reschedule a date for after half term and inform you as soon as possible.

This week

This week in Maths we have been learning about shapes. The children have beeng investigating the properties of 3d shapes and experimenting making their own 3d shapes.  In English we wrote our own sensory trail leaflets ready for our sensory trail which we will be taking Trevithick class on soon.

Homework

For homework this week I would like the children to complete the shape worksheet. Some children need to count the sides of a shape and draw a line to the correct number of sides. Other children need to complete the shape table by filling in properties belonging to regular 2d shapes. Children may need help remembering the specific properties belonging to each shape and it may help them to be able to see the shape. If you search for regular 2d shapes on a search engine and then select images you will be able to find images of 2d shapes to help your child. As an extra challenge children could go on a shape hunt to find 2d and 3d shapes at home and record the shapes they find.

Phonics

Next week in phonics we will be learning about the alternative spellings for ‘igh’ and ‘oa’. I have tried to allocate spellings which show the different spellings of these phonemes. It is important that children are practising their spellings at home as well as at school.

Many thanks
