Robins week beg. 6th March

Date: 2nd Mar 2023 @ 5:01pm

The children have all settled well back into school life after their half term break. It has been lovely hearing about how much they enjoyed the break at home with their friends and family. This week has been very exciting with World Book Day. We had great fun discussing our favourite books and authors, sharing our Stone Age stories to Year 2, learning some new poems and creating new bookmarks which will be laminated and ready to bring home next week. I love how enthusiastic all the children are about reading.    

Please remember to read with your child for 10 - 15 mins daily and record in diary if possible. Also take a look at their reading target which is on a sticker in their diary, some children may have the same target for a few weeks to work on. 

We will continue to revise some of the spelling rules that we have already covered in Year 3 so far this year. Spellings for next week will focus on the suffix - ous  dangerous, mountainous, famous, enormous, jealous, fabulous, generous and perilous.

Remember to have a go at this spelling game to revise spellings.

This week we have been looking at learning our 4 and 8 times tables so it would be useful to play Hit the Button focusing on these times tables facts.

Here is a good website to play some Maths games that I'm sure the children will enjoy.

The children should have a x4 sheet for homework this week. If they find this too difficult please stick with learning x3. Use the online games suggested above, ask them to write out the multiples and to tell you some key facts. 

PE days for this half term will remain as Monday and Friday. 

HOME- Our new whole school topic 

After half term we will begin our new whole school topic - Home. This has been planned around the theme of the importance of our homes to us and the human conflicts and natural disasters that result in homelessness for others. We are hoping to use photographs of our children’s homes as part of our displays. If you would like to, please send or e-mail a photo/copy of your home into school after half term. Thank you. 

Please feel free to get in touch if there is anything we can help you with,

Mrs Whittingham, Miss Wilkinson (Friday) & Mrs Taylor
