This term P6 will be practicing reading comprehension skills such as questioning and inference with Miss Prior.
With Miss Longford we will be focusing on non-fiction texts and there will be no school group reading books sent home. Allchildren are still expected to read for a minimum of 20 minutes per night as they will be completing work based on their individual home reading in class.
The new tables focus this term is the eight times table. We will be practicing these regularly in class and it is expected that children spent time each day learning them too.
This term we are focusing on the 4 x table, if you could practise this new table as well as the 3x table that would be much appreciated. Remember that the children should know the answers as fast as the learn-its.
If there are any children who need their learnits updated please let me know.
Spelling
There will be no spelling this week while we take part in some assessment.

But I’m afraid those around me would mock me.
We’ve had a great start back and this week will be focusing on budgeting in our numeracy lessons for ‘Finance week’.
At home everyone must work out how much their lunch costs everyday – e.g. 2 slices of bread, cheese, apple. This can be done either online, using receipts or by visiting a shop.
If you want to go for the hot challenge you should then compare how much it would cost to buy it from another supermarket.
Everyone has spelling words for next Monday in their jotters too. Write these out three times with the original word covered then decide on an activity you want to do to help you remember the spellings. The more creative the better and it may then be chosen for a future spelling homework for the whole class!
All homework for Miss Longford is due on a Monday each week.
Homework jotters will come home on Tuesday this week. Several children said the had left their jotters at home today. Please could you remind them to bring them in, so we can include their homework.
Spelling
