The children have all settled into the spring term. We are enjoying our new topic and learning lots of new facts and vocabulary. It’s also great to see the children linking the new learning to their existing knowledge. Facts we learned about the environment and climate change last term are important to our understanding of the Polar Regions and the significant explorers. It also allows the children to think about the habitats which are at risk from changes in the world’s climate.
We have completed our unit about money and will be moving onto multiplication and division. Please continue to support your child in learning their 2, 5 and 10 times tables. They are all able to log in to Times Tables Rock Stars. This will help with their fluency and speed of recall.
I hope that you saw the post that I put up of the sculptures we made on Wednesday, we had great fun! I have also asked the children to bring in some clean recycling materials to make a ‘Rubbish Monster’ on Wednesday. I’m looking forward to seeing them use their imagination. I will post photos to keep you updated.
If you have not sent back a signed permission slip for the trip, please send this in as soon as possible. It is a great educational visit and links very closely to the work we are doing in science and literacy.
Spelling scores are improving across the class and this is great news. Please keep reading little and often it makes such a difference.
Have a great weekend,
Mrs Dowell and Mrs Armstrong
