Fairyland
Last week P1 and P2 started in earnest to rebuild Fairyland for the sad dragon. The beanstalk was ‘re-grown’ and work started on building castles. Letters were written to the dragon and the story of Jack and the Beanstalk was sequenced.
Success brings smiles!
Look at the concentration! All pupils absorbed in what they’re doing and brilliant team work happening very naturally.
3D castles……simples! 
Next week, we’ll finish Jack and the Beanstalk ( Margaux, our French teacher will read this in French!).The children will decide which fairy tale to rebuild next…and of course, the dragon will have something to say about all of this!
**Date for your diary**
P1 and P2 hope to share some of their learning with you, the parents, on the afternoon of Thursday 30th March. Time TBC but will most likely be from 2pm onwards.
Reading for Book Week – the children really seemed to enjoy reading when the bell rang. It was great to see everyone reading for enjoyment.
Homework –
Spelling – List 24 – ‘ew’ This tends to be quite a tricky sound blend to learn because phonetically, it doesn’t make sense! I have fun with the kids saying this is a ‘stinky’ sound as it makes me go ‘ew’!
Reading – as normal. If your child finishes a book at home and grows tired of the story, please encourage him/her to read something else meantime. Thanks.
Numeracy – Last week, we practised add 3/take 3. Wording these sums in various ways is very helpful eg. 2+3…2 PLUS 3… What is 2 MORE than 3?… Add 3 to 2…
Then 7-3 as 7 MINUS 3… 7 SUBTRACT 3… 7 TAKE AWAY 3… Take 3 from 7…What is 3 less than 7? …and so on.
On Wednesday this week, I’ll send home the next sheet to be cut up into cards ( +4 / -4)
Fractions – From now on, we’re going to have weekly Fraction Friday lessons ( in addition to Money Monday) to regularly practise the concept of fractions. We’re currently looking at halves and quarters.
**LIBRARY** is on Friday 10th March so children should start to return their books.
PE – Monday (gymnastics) and Thursday.
Thanks for your support,
