Home Learning for Friday 14th March

Hello everyone! We have a few messages and reminders for the next two weeks...

There are parent's meetings after school next week so that we can discuss your child's progress. If you have not signed up for an appointment yet, then please contact the school office to get booked in!

Don't forget that on Wednesday March 26th, we are all dressing up as kings, queens, princes and princesses! These can be from any country and any period of history or those that are still alive! It must be a real royal person though and we will be discussing some facts about each person on the day so please make sure your child knows something about who they are dressing up as!

The following week, the class museums will be open for you to see what the children have made in Discovery time! You can come and visit on Monday 31st March at 3pm, or on Tuesday 1st April at 8.30am. Please come to the classroom door on these days and we look forward to seeing you then.

When we get back after the Easter holidays, we will be going on our next school trip to Fort Nelson. If you have not made your voluntary contribution for this yet, please contact the office to do so. It is not guaranteed that we can go until enough people make their contributions! 

Thanks, as always, for all of your support with these fun activities for the children!


Reading

Please continue to read every day. This might be your reading book from school or a book from home. Don't forget, you can also log on to bug club phonics.

Spelling

In phonics this week we have been looking at what happens when you add the 'er' and 'est' suffixes to adjectives. 

Can you spot which rules are being followed in your spelling words this week?


nice, nicer, nicest

brave, braver, bravest

late, later, latest

ripe, riper, ripest




Maths

This week we have been telling the time again. This is something that may children have previously found difficult so we have tried to present it in a different way.

As so many children are familiar with digital clocks we have tried to relate the time to the way you would say it digitally. 

So if you saw these clocks...



You would say that the times were

9:25    'Nine twenty five'
10:15   'Ten fifteen'
11:40    'Eleven forty'


With that in mind, please practise telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes this week. If you don't have an analogue clock at home then maybe you could draw some clock faces with your child.
You could also use this game to help...






This week's task


Today (the 14th March) is the day that Hindus will be celebrating the festival of Holi! We learnt about this festival in RE this week.

Watch this video clip which tells you all about the celebration through a fun story following two children on their trip to India for their first time celebrating Holi.
