Hi Everyone

I am really looking forward to our parents evening calls tomorrow, thank you so much for using our new system to book. 

We have had a fabulous week together in Swallows class. Thank you so much for your Pennies for Pudsey, your donations are greatly appreciated, we will get busy counting and let you know how much we have raised. Our two highlights have been decorating our wooden crosses for Remembrance Day and taking them over to church, they look beautiful. The children were so respectful whilst we were making and laying them at church. We have also had a fantastic virtual workshop from Mr Trevor, a Stone Age visitor who taught us lots about how the Stone Age people lived. I have been really proud of our children. We are exploring how to make tints and shades in art using pastells in order to create stunning versions of Stone Henge for the front cover of our Topic books.

Next week we will be continuing to add 3 digit numbers in a variety of ways, looking at crossing the tens and hundreds boundary. We are ejoying our new story, Seal Surfer by Michael Foreman. We have made sensible predictions using clues from the text, identified noun phrases and introduced prepositions of place, time and cause. We continue to collect and explore new and exciting vocabulary such as perilous, determined and segregation.

Please continue to read with your child daily and help them to recall their three times tables, your support is always greatly appreciated and so valuable to the children.

Our spellings this week continue to focus on how a prefix can alter the meaning of a root word. We have introduced the children to term 'antonym' eg able/unable.

disobey, disadvantage, disconnect, inactive, incredible, informal, unlock, unhappy, unsafe and unkind. 

Please contact me via the school admin email address or give me a ring, I am always here to discuss any questions or queries. 

Have a great week, many thanks

Mrs Rice
