Robins Week Beg 14th February 2022

Date: 10th Feb 2022 @ 10:16pm

Hi Everyone

We have had a super week in Robins class this week. I have been really impressed with the children's atitudes to learning. They help each other, show kindness and have enjoyed working together as a team. We had an enjoyable rock hunt in our church yard as we explored the different rocks that the grave stones were made from. The children impressed me with their Science vocabulary such as permeable and erosion. 

Next week, on Thursday 17th February we will be having a Forest Schools/History day outside. We will be making Stone Age houses from items found in the environment. Please send the children in wearing old clothes that you do not mind becoming dirty, wellies, clean shoes for inside, a warm waterproof coat and gloves. 

Our Writing lessons will continue to focus on the Stone Age Boy story. We will be writing comparisons between nowadays and prehistoric times using compound sentences and conjunctions. 

Mrs Rice's spelling group are looking at what happens to verbs that with an 'e' when the suffix 'tion' is added. 

elation, vibration, location, education, hesitation, concentration, celebration, exaggeration

In Maths, we will explore addition and subtraction problems that involve us working systematically and logically. We will embedd our understanding of the column method of both addition and subtraction. 

The children are totally immersed in our Iron Man story. They are making sensible predictions and showing sound understanding of the characters. Next week, we will continue to make inferences about the character's emotions and motives as well as exploring the impact of Ted Hughes' repeating phrases and powerful vocabulary. 

In Science, the children will be investigating the permeability of rocks by making predictions, carrying out a fair test, making close observations and drawing conclusions based on their findings. 

In RE, we will be learning about Jesus' disciples and the importance they have had on Christianity. 

Please continue to read regularly with your child at home and spend 5 minutes daily learning their times tables. 

As always, please come and see me if you have any queries or questions.

Many thanks

Mrs Rice
