Week beg 18^th October 2021

The children are all beginning to get excited about which parts they will play in our Christmas Production ‘Hoodwinked’. I have been delighted to see how enthusiastically they are reading their scripts. This week we will hold the auditions so that the children will have their parts sorted before half term and can begin to think about their costumes. The aim is that they will learn their lines over half term so we can begin rehearsals the first week back.  

Once again it has been a delight to see all the Maths homework completed on time and to a high standard.

For homework, we will set another 2 pages in their Maths books this week, please see below. We would also like them to log onto Times Tables Rockstars at least 3 times a week for 15 mins. They have got their log in details in the front of their homework diaries and they also all logged on in class today so that we know they will be able to this by themselves at home.

Homework

Spellings for next week will focus will focus on suffixes.  

Spellings will be tested on Thursday 21^st October – trader, making, grimy, persuaded, creating, appreciating, observant, fading, creation, famous

Maths Homework – Key Stage Two Maths SATs Question Book and Times Tables Rockstars

Homework is Written Multiplication and Division page 14 and page 15 of the SATs book.

Remember you will be set 2 pages to do weekly which you can mark yourself using the answers at the back of the book.

(Maths homework will be set on a Thursday and if the children could bring their books back into school for the following Wednesday so we can check them that would be great. If they are struggling with anything, please don’t hesitate to send the book back sooner and we will do some extra work with them in school)
