Weekly News Week 2
Hello,
We are very pleased with how well the children have settled in to Term 3 and we have another eventful week ahead.
Spelling– ea
The main ways of writing the long e sound are; ee and ea and e_e. This week we are focusing on the ‘ea’ spelling. This is the second most commonly used spelling behind ee.
Jolly Phonics Action: Put hands on head as if ears on a donkey and say “ea”.
This weeks tricky words are; like and when
Maths
This week in Mathematics the children will be looking at subtraction strategies. They will be solving worded subtraction sums and representing these sums pictorially. We will also be revising backwards counting (using our fist) and skip counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.
The children will also be looking at Measurement, with a particular emphasis on measuring the length of different objects. The children will explore measuring with formal units (e.g rulers) and informal units (e.g unifix cubes, hands, feet etc).
Health
This term in health we are focussing on healthy eating, personal hygiene, water safety and sun safety. We will also continue our focus on friendships and conflict resolution. If you have any food brochures/food magazines that you could please bring in for a healthy food activity that would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou in advance.
Reminders:
Children must bring their jumper to school every Tuesday for Assembly
If your child is absent, or going to be absent, please notify the Front Office.
Fruity Friday every Friday– please bring a piece of fruit (preferably pre-cut) to share with the class.
Our Library Day is Friday. Please send your child’s library bag along on this day if you want them to borrow.
Kind regards, Amy Penna and Kimberley Helps
