This weeks learning!

Science:

In science we have been looking at the properties of different materials and their suitability. We investigated various objects in the classroom and we came up with words to describe these materials and compared them. 

What you can do at home...

. Investigate different objects around your house. How have these materials been used ? What are they like? Do you think another material would be more suitable? How many different ways has this material been used?

Examples of materials:

. Wood   . Plastic    . Rubber    .Glass    . Rock     . Wool   

History:

 We will be continuing our learning of The Great Fire of London.

Maths:

Estimating objects and grouping in sets of 5s, 10s or 20s to check our answers. 

What you can do at home...

. I have set some games on Active Learn for you to go over. I will hand out the usernames and passwords again for these in case they have been lost (Tuesday)

Reading: 

Try to read as much as you can with your child to help them to develop a love for reading. You may not only read their reading books that they bring home from school, but also read them a bedtime story. Let your child read with you, taking it turns to read a section. Let your child ask questions throughout to develop their curiosity and ask them questions to check their own understanding. Pick out the vocabulary that they have learnt. 

I cannot stress enough, how important it is that the children are exposed to a variety of stories in both English and in Spanish.

                                     Spellings: 

Please continue to work with your children on their spellings. They will only need to learn the 6 spellings that are in their spelling book.
