Week 2, ending 13 January

So we have come to the end of Week 2! This week, we have welcomed Miss Smith into Oak Tree Class. She will be teaching alongside me, until Easter, so this is exciting for us all!
We have continued with Fractions in Maths – learning different methods for adding and subtracting fractions, as well as consolidating Subtraction in our Arithmetic session. Subtraction is one of the trickiest of the 4 number operations – and we need to try to have a secure method before Y6. Because of this, our Maths Homework this weekend is a sheet of Subtraction Calculations (along with our usual spellings). Many thanks for your support in both of these areas – due back on Wednesday, as always.
We have nearly completed our reports on the Layers of the Rainforest – once we have published these, they will look splendid! One area that has improved massively for the children in oak Tree Class is handwriting. Writing with a pen does not cause many issues for us now – cracked it!
PE sessions of Movement and Gymnastics have been fun; Ukulele lessons continue to be entertaining and in RE, the children have been learning about different values held by different people. A good lesson for us all to appreciate, I think!
In DT, the children are building up to making a moving model of an endangered animal. Could you possibly look out for and send in any cereal box-sized boxes this coming week?
Have a super weekend,
Yours,
Mrs Amos
