Homework this week w/c 18.11.19
admin on: Class 3
Hello everyone!
The children are working exceptionally hard on reading the time to the nearest minute at the moment; not the easiest topic to grasp!! We've been consolidating previous learning reading the time to the nearest 5 minutes, but are now moving on to try to the nearest minute too. Any practice telling the time on an analogue clock would be so useful!! I've highlighted 4 activities on Mathletics surrounding telling the time. Please don't try and complete all four by Friday, but as much practice as possible would be great!
Spellings are as follows;
played
stayed
build
built
tapped
clapped
fearful
cheerful
enough
We are also working on the 6 x tables in maths this week, so any practice would be great!
Thanks so much
Mrs Matthews

Good evening!
The children had a very busy day on Friday; not only did they have their first netball session and a very exciting science lesson, they had a great time taking part in the 'Sports Hall Athletics' event at Holmfirth High School. They children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in both track and field events, competing against other schools in the area. Well done to all the children!
For spellings this week we have focused on the prefixes 'super', 'sub' and 'anti';
submerge
submarine
subheading
supermarket
superman
superstar
antisocial
antiseptic
anticlockwise
I've also highlighted 2 'Mathletics' activities I'd like the children to try- they're both involving subtraction. The children will need to use a piece of paper to work out some of the answers (using the same method we have practised in class). Please do encourage your child to have a go at any other activities too. Good luck!
Thanks so much once again,
Mrs Matthews
Our last week of Autumn 1 (27.10.19)
admin on: Class 3
Dear all,
What a fabulous week we have all had this week! We've been learning all about how the Passover is celebrated in Jewish families just recently and thanks to Vigo's Mum deepened our learning further last week. This week the children have made their very own matzah (flat bread) and thoroughly enjoyed tasting it along with grape juice. Thank you Mrs Pearce for your super culinary skills!
Our trip to the Stone Age village at Murton Park was a fabulous end to our week; the children were fabulous all day and didn't complain once about the poor weather in the afternoon. They made clay beaker pots, farmed, hunted, made flour and enjoyed examining so many amazing Stone Age artefacts. What a wonderful day! When we return to school I will add some photos of our visit to the blog.
The latest spellings are in your child's planner (dated 23.10.19)- we will be having our test on the first Friday back. Please encourage your child to have a go at the addition and subtraction activities on 'Mathletics' too. This will help consolidate our recent learning in Maths.
Thanks so much for all your support,
Mrs Matthews

Good evening!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend inspite of the dreadful weather!!
Many apologies for the slight delay in adding our most recent spellings to the blog- here goes!
This week we are focusing on the prefixes 'un', 'in' and 're';
unable
untie
undo
unused
inactive
incorrect
inability
refresh
return
reappear
I've asked the children to try as many Mathletics activities as they can (as we are very competitive and would like to beat the other classes and complete more tasks!!); however, I've firstly asked them to try just 2! These involve both mental subtraction and missing number challenges. Good luck!
Thanks so much for your support,
Mrs Matthews
