Week ending 31.1.2020

Posted: Feb 2, 2020 by: Elaine Matthews (EMatthews) on: Class 3

Good afternoon!

This week we have been working really hard to develop our understanding of equivalent fractions; I think the use of very tasty chocolate on Friday to demonstrate this finally did the trick!! I wonder why!!! In view of this I have set 2 activities on 'Mathletics' surrounding 'fractions' again this week; the first is 'equivalent fractions' and then 'comparing fractions'. Please support your children to try each of these activities. Any further Mathletics activities he/she wishes to try will be an additional bonus; they really do help with maths progress.

I have also once again sent home a spelling activity for the children to complete; this week focusing on different word endings. I find asking the children to complete the activities as they learn the spelling rules really makes a difference. Keep practising!

The children are making super progress on their reading, but please do continue to listen to your child read aloud every day as this too makes such a difference.

We're all thoroughly enjoying practising the songs we will be performing in the Town Hall on the 13th Feb, however any practise at home would be very helpful too. The songs are as follows;

I got rhythm

Rhythm of the rain

Rhythm is gonna get you

Can't stop the feeling

Power in me

Jai ho

Shosholoza

The children are really enjoying practising them every day; why not have a sing-song at home too!!

Thanks so much for all your help and support at home. Please don't hesitate to call in and see me if you have any worries at all.

Thanks so much

Mrs Matthews
