In Maths this week we have been practising finding the difference on a number line. Some children really enjoyed this method and I’m sure they would love to teach their families how to do it. In Literacy we have been learning how to write Chronological reports and how to use sub headings. In our Design and Technology this week we designed are own flags. With Mrs Davis we created our own masks.

Home Learning

For Home Learning this week I would like the children to complete the place value colouring activity. Please feel free to change the colours.

Support tips:

• Encourage your child to solve the calculation first and then to colour it in on the hundred square.
• Some children might prefer to solve all of the calculations first and then to start colouring them in.

Spellings Group 1- wishes, foxes, unkind, uncover, dislike, bigger, biggest, slower, slowest nicest.

Times tables- Next week we will be practising the multiplication/division facts for the 2 x table.

This week we have continued our learning on Brazil. We have been learning about Mass in Maths and enjoyed weighing ingredients to make scones with Mrs Axon. In Literacy we have started to learn about the footballer Pele.

Home Learning

For Home Learning this week I would like the children to find and record at least three facts about Brazil. For extra home learning this week make your own poster all about Brazil.

Support tips:

• Use the search engine safe search kids to search online. We have been using this search engine in class and the children have a very good understanding of how to stay safe online.
• Encourage your child to read their writing back to spot their own mistakes. Have they used capital letters? Is their handwriting sitting on the lines? Have they remembered to join their handwriting?
