Week 5

Hi and welcome to week 5. We hope all the mums enjoyed their day yesterday. The children certainly enjoyed reflecting on what their mums mean to them and making their little gifts. Has anyone made use of their voucher yet?

Homework was due today (Book 2) and most children have taken home Book 1 for this fortnight's homework grid. Some children still have Book 1 at home which makes it two weeks overdue. Look out for the project task - a 'Must Do'. The children brought the 'My Mixtures' sheet home today. You don't have to wait the fortnight to return them. If they are finished before then, the children can bring them back and begin sharing them with the class. This worksheet will help introduce and facilitate our Science unit.

This week in Maths, we are revising the work we have done so far this term in readiness for the maths exam next week. We are continuing our focus on addition and the strategies to assist with this. Ask the children to explain Rainbow facts, Doubles, Near doubles and Turn arounds. You could also ask them to explain how subtraction and addition are linked.

In English, our focus is on compound sentences and conjuctions. The sound this week is long i - 'igh' & 'y'.

A reminder of some upcoming dates:

Week 6 - 2 Green is leading morning prayer at the daily school morning assembly.
Week 7 - Wednesday 29th May - 2 Green's assembly - 2.20pm in Siena
Week 8 - Wednesday 5th June - 2 Green is hosting mass at 9.00am in the church

Regards,
Felicity & Melissa
