Week 4

Welcome to Week 4.  Our Class Vision Statement is now finished and you are welcome to join us for the presentation of it in the church tomorrow (Tuesday 19th February) at 9 am. 

In maths we are continuing with lots of number work. This includes counting (forwards, backwards) numbers up to 200 and place value. We want the children to have a very thorough understanding of hundreds, tens and ones and the relationship between them. We will also revise 3D shapes - cubes, rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones and spheres.

In literacy we are still focusing on recipes, paying particular attention to the format as well as the use of nouns and verbs in them. A reminder not to be concerned if your child has no trouble with their home reader. The aims of home reading are to practise the reading strategies learnt in class, develop fluency and expression and develop a love of reading for enjoyment.  We want them to be sucessful and for the text to not be a struggle for them.  This will help boost their confindence greatly.  We give them more challenging texts in our small guided reading sessions in class.

Hope you have a great week.

Melissa & Felicity
