Well done for a great week Class 3!
Sports Day was a brilliant event and the children all showed great team work and collaboration! It was lovely to hear them all cheering for their team and friends.
Spellings: The vowel trigraph ‘ear’.
24.6.22 Spelling sheet
English: This week we have started a new story linked to our topic ‘Explorers’. The children have been enjoying Emma Jane’s aeroplane and we have read through it a couple of times. Now the children are familiar with it, it’s great to hear them joining in with the repeated phrases. We have recapped on the importance of capital letters for proper nouns and planned a diary entry. The children will start to write their diaries from Emma’s point of view next week.
Homework: I have given the children a SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) activity to complete in their homework files.
Maths: We have been learning about position and direction this week. The children have been giving each other instructions to follow a route using vocabulary such as left, right, forwards, backwards, etc. We have then looked at describing where an object is in comparison to another object e.g. the star is to the left of the triangle, the heart is above the sun, etc. The mathematical vocabulary we have focussed on this week: left, right, up, down, forwards, backwards, in the middle, in between, above, below.
Computing: We were very excited to get the iPads out yesterday and start programming a Sprite on Scratch Jnr. The children were giving the sprite instructions to move around their screen and started to investigate other ways in which they can program for example, making their sprite make noise and spin.
RE:Â The children listened to the story ‘The Good Samaritan’ today and then we had a lesson all about giving and caring for others and how we could do this. We thought about how everyone is our neighbour and we can show Jesus’ love to everyone. The children each decided on a random act of kindness and have been challenged to perform a random act of kindness on a friend throughout next week without them knowing.
Reading Books: Please could all reading books and diaries be in on Monday morning, ready for new books to come back out.
Have a great weekend!
