Hi all,
Children have settled in very well to the new routine at school and are working hard, which is lovely to see.
Homework starts this week:
Spelling – Children will bring home new spelling jotters on Monday with a spelling grid of activities pasted in. Children will copy their word lists down in class. Children should complete one task from the grid and hand the jotter back in on Friday. Please check your child’s work for accuracy and neatness. Please use pencil only.
Numeracy/Maths-
We have been looking at numbers into the millions and even billions. We have been revising place value. It is SO important that children grasp place value at this stage.
We have also been practising times tables by studying the number patterns of each table and making connections. We have learned strategies to use if we cannot simply remember a times table fact.
I will post a homework revision task of these topics on Wednesday on Google Classroom. Anyone without decent access to Google Classroom can take a paper copy home.
Reading – We are reading Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo in class as our novel study therefore no books will come home at present. However, please continue to encourage your child to read for pleasure at home wherever possible.
PE – Remember to come to dressed for outdoor PE on Tuesday.
Finally, P6 will have science sessions with Mrs Cumming each Wednesday, drama on Monday afternoons and music studies each Friday. We’ll revise French vocabulary on Thursday afternoons usually followed by art.
That is all for now,
Take care,
Miss Brunt
