Week 3

Hi All
We hope you enjoyed your weekend and the pupil free day despite the heat.  Maybe some of you were lucky enough to get to the beach! 

We are continuing our focus on Pamela Allen's books.  This week we will be sharing Daisy All-sorts and Our daft dog Danny with the children and we will do activities associated with them.  The children are really enjoying this unit, we look forward to the book reviews they are going to present!

In maths, with are continuing to practise multiplication using groups and arrays.  We are also continuing our investigation of area. 

Homework was due today and the new homework grid and this week's spelling words are available on the Homework page.  The children were very excited to share their pull and push investigation that they did as part of homework.  Thank you for assisting them with this and supporting our unit of work.

A reminder that children should be reading each night.  Even if they are at the stage of reading chapter books, it is still important they read aloud.  One suggestion is for them to read a paragraph or page and then you read a paragraph or page.  They can also read a picture book to a younger sibling or cousin. 

You can also give a lot of support to your child's reading development by spending some time asking them some questions about their reading.  This will help them to develop vital comprehension skills.

Have a great week!
