St Piran Class Newsletter Friday 6th November

This Week

This week in Maths we have been learning to tell the time. The children have enjoyed playing time games and challenging each other to tell the time. In English we have been exploring the Charlie and Lola story ‘This is actually my party’. We wrote excellent sentences using feelings words. In Deisgn and Technology we tasted fruits to put in our jelly. We are learning how to make healthy party jelly with Mrs Davis. We learnt our first group dance in PE and enjoyed creating our own moves.

Phonics

This week in Phonics we have learnt the ‘air’, ‘ear’, ‘ure’, and ‘er’ 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.

Home Learning

This week in our maths we have been learning about time and in particular telling the time to the hour. This week I would like the children to record what they were doing at 10:00am, 1:00pm and 5:00pm for one day of the weekend. You might like to draw clock faces showing these times. Children can record what they were doing in pictures or in writing or with both.  For an extra challenge you might like to change the time on your clock or watch to an o’clock time or a half past time and ask your child to tell you the time.

Support tips:

• The children should be able to recognise o’clock.
• You might like to discuss the difference between am and pm.
• It may help your child if you refer to the hour hand as the short hand and the minute hand as the long hand.

Parents evenings

Please remember to attend parents evening next week. Appointment times will be outside the classroom in case you need a reminder. If you are unable to attend parents evening please come and see me to arrange a convenient time to discuss your child’s progress.

Oliver Jeffers Trip

Please remember to bring in the Oliver Jeffers trip consent form and money.

Many thanks
