Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (04.11.24). For this week, your child has a handwriting word search (to be completed independently) and a Maths revision activity to refresh their understanding of using their number bonds to 10 to add three 1-digit numbers which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently.

Please have a look at your child's reading book for this week and encourage your child to keep revisiting it when they can. It's been great to see children are regularly returning their Challenge Tree book each week. These are changed every Friday, if needed, so please remind your child to bring back their book in order to pick a new one out. The challenge is to try and read all 50 storybooks before Year Three.  I have already set Doodlemaths tasks for this week and lastly, don't forget to keep on using Spelling Shed a few minutes at a time. 

Have a great week!

Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (07.10.24). For this week, your child has a handwriting word search (to be completed independently) and a Maths revision activity to refresh their understanding of counting in 2s, 5s and 10s which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently.  We have also recently looked at counting in 3s, therefore, as an extra challenge for more stamps, see if your child can creatively practice the 3s timetable in their homework book however they wish.

Please have a look at your child's reading book for this week and encourage your child to keep revisiting it when they can. It's been great to hear that children have enjoyed sharing their new Challenge Tree books with families since picking out their first one. These are changed every Friday, if needed, so please remind your child to bring back their book in order to pick a new one out. The challenge is to try and read all 50 storybooks before Year Three.  I have already set Doodlemaths tasks for this week and lastly, don't forget to keep on using Spelling Shed a few minutes at a time. 

Have a great week!

Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (30.09.24). For this week, your child has a handwriting page (to be completed independently) and a Maths revision activity to refresh their understanding of estimating using number lines, which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently. Please have a look at your child's reading book for this week and encourage your child to keep revisiting it when they can. We have now been able to pick out Challenge Tree books so, hopefully your child has come home excited to share that with you this past weekend. These can be changed every Friday, if needed. The challenge is to try and read all books before Year Three.  I have already set Doodlemaths tasks for this week and lastly, don't forget to keep on using Spelling Shed a few minutes at a time.

I hope you all had a restful weekend after a busy week. Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (23.09.24). For this week, your child has a word search (to be completed independently) and a Maths revision activity to refresh their understanding of partitioning, which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently. Please have a look at your child's reading book for this week and encourage your child to keep revisiting it when they can. We haven't been able to pick out Challenge Tree books as of yet because we are awaiting coloured folders for the children to safely transport them in. So, hopefully it will be next Friday we can visit the Challenge Tree Library. Your child has changed their coloured book band book today and again, have been encouraged to independently return any older books they have read at least three times.  I have already set Doodlemaths tasks for the week and lastly, don't forget to keep on using Spelling Shed a few minutes at a time. 

Have a great week!

Lastly, I shall set Doodlemaths tasks on Fridays and Spelling Shed activities (linked to spellings) are available on Mondays.
