St Piran Class Newsletter Friday 16th October

This Week

In Literacy this week we have continued our learning on instructions. We wrote our own instructions for how to brush your teeth and had an excellent demonstration from Seb. In Maths we have been focussing on number and place value. We have been counting in 10s and 5s and using pictures to help us. In Design and Technology we started creating our own houses and in SEAL we have been practising working together as a team.

 

 

Phonics

This week in Phonics we have learnt the ‘ur’, ‘ow’ and ‘oi’ 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

This week’s homework is a place value Maths activity. The children either need to complete the one more and one less worksheet or the abacus worksheet which involves tens and units. For an extra challenge why not draw your own representations of two digit numbers using tens and units. For example, you might draw the number 22 as two big circles for the tens and then two small triangles for the units.

 

Support tips:

  • Use a number line or a 100 square to help your child find the number and the numbers that are one more and one less. If you type 100 square into a search engine you should find ‘splat square’ which is an interactive 100 square that you can use to support Maths activities.
  • Discuss two digit numbers with your child. Encourage them to think about the then 1st digit as the tens number and the 2nd digit as the units.

 

Harvest Festival

Our joint Harvest Festival takes place on Tuesday at 9:30am at St Michael’s church. We will be walking the children down and back to the church. We ask the children to bring in a contribution to our donation to the local foodbank. Suitable items include tins of fruits, vegetables, soups, packets of rice, pasta and biscuits. Thanks in advance for you donations. Looking forward to seeing you at the celebration.

 

 

Many thanks

Dear Parents and Carers,

Feadon Farm

We hope you have heard all about our fantastic trip to Feadon Farm! It was a really enjoyable day and the children made the most of all the opportunities to meet the  different animals and learn about them.

Reading Diaries

Our new reading diaries have finally arrived! Thank you for your patience.  Now that they are here, please record each time your child reads – they can also do this themselves, adding comments about what they have read and what they thought of it.  Try to listen to your child read at least 5 times a week.  We will check their diaries once a week to see how they are getting along.

Maths

In maths, we are continuing with our work on place value and using this knowledge to help with addition and subtraction.  We have also been investigating 3-d shapes and their properties.

English

We have been developing our skills in writing formal letters this week,  as well as learning how to take notes and write information texts about food groups.  Next week,  we will begin to work on adventure stories.

Spelling Superstars

Sam Lee retains his 100% record – well done!  Well done also to everyone else who got 10 out of 10 last week.  Spellings will be sent home again today ready for next Thursday’s test – get practising!

Just a quick reminder to parents of children with asthma

We sent all inhalers home at the end of last term.  If your child is likely to need their inhaler in school, please drop it off at the office and check that your details and instructions are up to date.

If you would like to speak to us,  as always, feel free to pop in and see us before or after school or email us on esmitheram@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk or sburns@perranporth.cornwall.sch.uk .

Thank you.

Mrs Smitheram and Mrs Burns.
