Week Beginning Monday 23rd October 2017
Date: 21st Oct 2017 @ 4:17pm
Hello all :)
I hope that you are enjoying your weekends!
This week is called 'Check-Up Week'. We will all be doing assessments in order to help me to plan the next steps for the children as effectively as possible. This is how the week should look:
|
Maths |
All of the children will do a small arithmetic and reasoning assessment. |
|
Phonics |
We will carry on with our daily phonics lessons. Miss Adamson's group will be learning ie (a colourful tie), ue (blue glue), aw (yawn at dawn) and ew (chew the stew). Mrs Thomson's group will be learning oi (spoil the boy), ear (hear with your ear) and air (that's not fair). All the children will also do a short phonics check with Miss Adamson. |
|
Reading |
We will have guided reading as usual on Wednesday. In addition, children will do a short reading assessment with Miss Adamson or Mrs Thomson. |
|
Writing |
We are doing some special pieces of writing as part of a whole school theme called 'Journey Back in Time'. We will be reading the story of Old Bear and retelling it in our writing. |
|
History |
In keeping with Journey Back in Time and Old Bear, we will be learning about toys from the past. We will compare them with toys in the present and create our own timeline. |
|
Homework |
This week there will be no homework in the children's purple books. Instead, children will receive their Holiday Passports. During every school holiday (Y1-Y6), children fill in their holiday passport with details of what they have done over the break. We love reading what you have done and it makes for lovely memories to look back on when your child gets to Year 6. Holiday Passports are kept inside the red book bag. |
I look forward to seeing you all on Monday!
Miss Adamson :)
P.S. If you have any outstanding toast money to be paid for this past half-term (£7.80). Please send it to school with your child this week.
