Week 4

Welcome to Week 4. This week we are continuing to work busily on our units of work in preparation for assessment tasks. Thank you to all parents who have sent in collage items for our science assessment. The children are very much looking forward to using the items to show us what they have learnt about force and motion!

In English our spelling focus is on the diphthong 'oy'. We are continuing our focus on nouns, adjectives, direct speech in texts, as well as the use of visual resources to add meaning to texts.

In Maths we are continuing our work with multiplication and sharing concepts. We are also introducing chance - exploring the possible outcomes of events and discussing the likelihood of events.

After learning about the life of St. Francis over the past couple of weeks, the children will this week make a book about him.

A reminder that swimming starts on the Tuesday of Week 6. We will swim on the following dates:
Week 6: Tuesday 12th & Thursday 14th November
Week 7: Tuesday 19th & Thursday 21st November
Week 8: Tuesday 26th & Thursday 28th November

2 Green are hosting mass on Wednesday 13th November at 9am. 2 Maroon and 2 Navy will be joining us. We look forward to seeing you there.

Have a lovely week,
Felicity Pryer & Melissa Evans

Week 2

Welcome to a new week. In English our shared reading text is Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children will be sequencing the story, identifying the "big idea" and identifying good and bad characters. We will be reading and viewing a few versions of this text and comparing them. Our spelling focus is the double consonants '-ss' & '-zz'.

In Maths we are continuing to investigate area through a number of hands on measuring activities. We will also introduce and explore multiplication using groups and arrays as well as multiplication word problems.

In Science the children will investigate different things moving in the playground and use iPads to record and describe forces and motions.

In Religion we are exploring God's creation and introducing St. Francis of Assai.

A reminder that next Monday 21st October is a Pupil Free Day.

The Term 4 newsletter was sent home today, keep an eye out for it.

Hope you have a good week,

Felicity Pryer & Melissa Evans

Week 1

A warm welcome back to Term 4. We hope everyone had a relaxing holiday and we are looking forward to an enjoyable last term of the year with the great children of Two Green! There is a lot to fit into the last 9 weeks of the school year so please check the blog, twitter and the newsletter for dates of importance.

The children will be bringing home the Term 4 Overview by the end of the week. This will contain an outline of the units of work we will be covering.

This week in maths we are revising and continuing to practise addition and subtractions. We will also be learning about area - the amount of surface a shape covers.

A reminder that Monday 21st October is a pupil free day for the children.

Have a great week,

Felicity Pryer & Melissa Evans
