Week Beginning 03.02.20

Date: 29th Jan 2020 @ 9:56pm

Hi everyone,

We have had another fantastic week in Robins class!

Firstly, I would like to thank the children who have been bringing a smaller book bag to school this week – our cloakroom is looking much tidier!

In writing next week we will be retrieving information from our non-fiction text ‘Big Blue Whale’ to help us map the journey of the blue whale throughout the year. Children will work towards writing an explanation of where the blue whale migrates to and why using prepositions and adverbs to express cause.

In maths we will be looking at the inverse relationship between multiplication and division. We will also be looking at the patterns in multiplication and how we can use known multiplication facts to help us work out more difficult ones.

In geography we will be using maps and digital mapping tools to locate rivers in the UK, including the River Weaver. This week in Science, Robins will be carrying out research to help them compare and contrast the diets of different animals.

We have noticed during our weekly Times Tables quiz that children can recall multiplication and division facts but need to build up their pace in order to complete them within an appropriate time.

Robins spellings for the test on Friday 7^th February will look at words with the ‘c’ sound spelt ‘ch’:

ache, anchor, chaos, chorus, echo, chemical, school, character

As always, if you have any questions or queries please pop in to speak to us.

Miss Beattie and Mrs Esling
