Term 3 week 2

This week the children have continued to be extremely busy with their learning and despite having a few very wet days the children have been working incredibly hard. 

English: 

The children have been learning about the digraphs 'oi and oy'. The children used the digraphs to write different words that contain them. The children have also been learning about capital letters and linking this to addresses.  The children practised writing names and places with capital letters. They then had a go at writing their addresses ensuring they remembered capital letters in the correct places. The children have been introduced to the famous runner Usain Bolt in English and have composed their own questions they would ask him if they got the chance to meet him. 

Maths: 

The children have demonstrated their knowledge of symmetry with 2D shapes. They then moved onto learning about addition and subtraction in relation to fact families. The children identified the 2 parts of a part, part whole and then found the answers to the calculations. The children then used the same numbers to work out subtraction calculations. The children have also learnt about 1 more and 1 less than numbers up to 30.

PSHE:

The children learnt about how we can talk to adults in a setting outside of school. They looked at different scenarios and identified whether it was safe to continue conversations.

Computing:

The children have been developing their skills on a laptop. They have been having a go at using dance mat typing to begin to understand where their fingers should be on the keyboard. 

History:

The children learnt more about Florence Nightingale and they learnt about the conditions of nurses at the time. The children learnt about nurses today and began to discuss the differences. The children compared the past and present. 

Please can you continue reading with your child and record it in their reading record. 

Have a wonderful weekend, see you next week.
