The 6 high frequency spellings that we are going to focus on this week are decide, who, busy, eight, surprise and remember.

We are also focussing on the prefixes -dis and -in added to the beginning of some words to change their meaning.

This includes words such as like – dislike, appear-disappear, visible-invisible and dependent-independent.

Please take the time to practice these spellings with your child at home throughout the week. You can look at how words change when using and not using the prefixes -dis and -in.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yesterday the children took home the compost bottles that they have made in class (some still have theirs to do next week). We have been learning about what soil is made of and why it is important.

I have attached the instructions of what to do next to achieve the best compost for planting 😊.

Spelling log books were also sent home, please can these be returned on Monday so that we can complete our spelling activities during the week.

Thanks, Miss Taylor.

Just a little message to say thank you for encouraging your children to read as much as they can at home and for helping them create some really interesting homework for our topic.

I have sent home some reading challenge cards for your child/children to use (optional) as they read their book at home. They don’t need to bring in the activities that they do but it is a good way to encourage deeper learning and understanding of the book they are reading.

The children are also bringing home their spelling log books (continuing from Year 2- we are on 2B Unit 10) with words to practice that they have chosen from the activities they’ve completed throughout the week. The log books must be returned to school on Monday. We have been practicing the suffix ‘al’ this week.

Could your child/children please bring in an empty plastic bottle (2 litre if possible) for next Wednesday for a Science activity. 

Thank you 🙂
