Firstly, thank you for sending in the beautiful costumes. The children are singing a song called ‘The tree of light’ and rehearsals are going well. We shall be filming on Thursday next week. We’ve been very busy creating hats and lanterns for the Christmas performance and have produced some lovely accessories to complete the outfits. Please send the children to School in their uniform on the day and they’ll get changed into their costumes in class.
In Maths we’ve been looking at teen numbers. Some children are reversing the tens column with the ones column when they write a number e.g. 41 instead of 14 etc. If you can talk about this at home that would be great.
We have had a massive focus on handwriting this week. Using cursive writing and thinking about the position of the ascenders (things above the line) and descenders (things below the line) when writing upper case and lower case letters. Also a focus on the size of our writing, some children are writing over two lines or using a mixture of large or small sized writing within a sentence. If you could continue to focus on writing sentences at home using the spellings for this week, which are linked to the short version of ‘oo’ (cook, hook, book, foot and brook), that would be great.
Once again, thanks for your continued support. The work you do at home with the children is so important to their learning journey.
Have a lovely weekend.
Kind regards
Miss Hughes, Miss Merson and Mrs Doolwela
