We now call units ones. We would write T O rather than T U.

The children are brilliant at this method ask them to show you.

This week we had some special visitors from Brazil in our class. The children were able to ask them lots of questions about life in Brazil. Thank you to Mrs Veryan and Mr Timms for arranging the visit.

We enjoyed Zumba with Lucy and multi-skills with Richard Lander pupils.

We are making excellent progress in our recorder sessions.

We wore sporty clothes as part of National Sports week. Go Team Penhaligon!

This week in our Literacy we have continued with our Non-Chronological reports about Brazil. The children have been great at finding interesting facts on the computers.  In Maths this week we have been using column addition to solve calculations. (Please see below)

Home Learning

For Home Learning this week I would like the children to complete the reading comprehension provided. Please note some comprehensions have more than one side of questions.

Support tips:

• Encourage your child to underline key information when reading the text.
• Encourage your child to write the answers in full sentences.

For extra home learning this week practise your column addition at home.

Spellings this week are linked to our Phonics learning on prefixes/suffixes.

Spellings Group 1- kindness, happiness, careless, endless, payment, enjoyment, want, was, swan, swap.

Spellings Group 2- dizziness, laziness, breathless, painless, movement, amazement, wash, wander, wallet, waffles.

Times tables- Next week we will be practising the multiplication/division facts for the 5 x table.

Recorder

If the children have their own recorders remember to bring them in on Monday. A letter is coming home next week about recorder lessons in September.

Thank you for your continued support
