Hello everyone! Welcome back to Swallows class blog.
It was wonderful to speak to so many of you on Tuesday during our parents evening phone calls. Please do not hessitate to contact me if you have any futher questions or concerns.
We have had yet another fantastic week in Swallows class. We continued to learn how to use column addition and subtraction to solve a range of problems during our maths lessons. Can you answer the questions below in your reading diary?
28 + 13 = ____ 25 + 18 = _____ 19 + 8 = _____
We loved writing diaries, letters and descriptive sentences about the charactes in our story ‘Troll Swap’ this week. We had lots of fun getting the glockenspiels out during our music lesson and we enjoyed completing our decorated wooden crosses and taking them over to the Cenetaph on Remembrance Day. Have you been to see the end result of our whole school remembrance project yet?
Read Write Inc
Your child will be coming home with a Speed Sound book this Friday. Instructions for how to use the book are on the first page. These books can stay at home. It would help if your child could practice speed reading and writing these sounds as often as possible. It is important that any incorrect pronunciation is re-modelled where approriate both in school and at home. We appreciate your support with this.
In addition to this, your child has brought home a Read Write Inc bookmark which corresponds with their current RWI group this week. Please continue to speed read and write these words to help with fluency.
Spellings
Please use your 'Look-Cover-Write-Check’ whiteboard to learn these spellings at home.

Next Week
We will continue to focus our writing on the fantastic story ‘Troll Swap’ next week. We will continue to write letters from Mum and Dad asking Tabitha to come home and we will describe our own new Character. We will orally re-tell our new story with partnets, focussing on getting the sequencing and vocabulary right. In Maths we will be focusing on written methods for subtraction this week. We will solve problems involving two 2 digit numbers.
Home Reading
Thank you to everyone who has been reading at home this week. Swallows were thrilled to notice that we had more children than ever completing their three read challenge AGAIN last week. Keep it up! We have had lots of diaries signed and consequently the children have been given raffle tickets for our special reading raffle. Will we beat our record once again next week?
Please contact me via the school admin email address or give me a ring if you need me, I am always here to discuss any questions or queries.
Have a great weekend Swallows!
Many thanks J
