Good Evening Everyone,

 

We’ve had a very busy week and the children have worked so hard. In English, they are really enjoying their learning based on the book ‘Hello Mr Postmouse.’ In Maths they have been doubling and subtracting on a number line and by counting backwards. In RE, they learnt all about Ramadan and in Geography they have been exploring compass directions. I shared the mnemonics ‘Naughty Elephants Squirt Water’ to help the children remember the compass points. I was so impressed that some children were able to come up with their own mnemonics. Also, well done to all the children who presented their learning in the sharing assembly on Monday.

  

Next Week:

Maths- The children will be finding the difference, exploring number facts and solving missing number problems.

 

English- The children will continue to work from the book ‘Hello Mr Postmouse.’ They will be planning and writing a letter to a chosen character from the book.
