Week beginning 20.1.20

Date: 20th Jan 2020 @ 6:48pm

Hi everyone,

Skylarks have had an exciting week learning about perimeter and area in maths. As there homework for this week, instead of doing their homework book, I would like them to tell define what perimeter and area are to their friends and family. Next week, we will be continuing to look at this and then going back into our multiplication and division; starting with multiplying 2 digit numbers.

The children had two visitors this week, who came in to speak to them about managing finance. There was a 'grandfather' figure who told them a story about his grandchildren and how he needed to save, estimate and total costs to buy all his grandchildren things that they wanted. The children really got on board and involved with this and it was fantastic to see their maths skills playing a big part in this. 

In writing, we have been looking at new, unfamiliar language and using dictionaries and iPads to decifer what the words mean. The children have been introduced to their new book and have begun to predict what the book may be about and the plot of the story. They will be using expanded noun phrases and relative clauses to describe the main character 'Arthur'.

Homework:

Reading 

Spelling (I am sending home spellings that we have already looked at this term, but I feel there is still a gap so would like to revisit them).

Maths (Tell a family member or friend what perimeter and area are and how you calculate them).

Times tables rockstars

Thank you for your continued support.

Miss Thwaites and Mrs Hulse
