This week we have been practising our skills when telling the time.  We  are all amazing at o’clock and half past.  We have practise quarter to and past and some of us are even moving on to counting around the clock face in 5s. Here is a fun game you might like to play at home… if you have a spare minute.

As part of our Christmas celebrations in school, Room 3 have chosen whether they wish to be angels, shepherds or sheep.  Many of the children who are angels or shepherds have already been given costumes from ones we have in school. A few lovely angels are bringing their costumes from home, which just leaves the sheep!

If your child is a sheep, please can they bring in a light, plain top in a labelled bag? We have got some sheep masks ready in school so that is really all they need.

Please can all costumes from home be brought into school on Monday 30th of November.

If you have any questions, just email:

Thank you very much,

Good Morning,

This morning we are looking as how we solve written multiplication problems.  We will be working through this sheet.  Please feel free to draw your jottings on the sheet or to draw arrays, whatever helps you to answer the questions.

Please can you practise your spellings.

In English we are continuing to write our newspaper report.  Yesterday you wrote the introduction.  Today I would like you to use the headings: ‘Why did the fire spread so quickly?’ and ‘How was the fire put out?’ and write a paragraph about each.

After lunch we will begin by reading and answering the questions about Samuel Pepys and his diary.  Choose the most appropriate level for you.

The Diary of Samuel Pepys

Samuel Pepys wrote his diary in code.

.

Today, I’d like you to invent your own code picture for each letter of the alphabet and write a short diary extract imagining you are Samuel Pepys.  Write your diary in code, just like he did.

I hope you have a lovely day.

Love from Mrs Pope x

Good morning,

This morning in maths we are going to be playing a little game.  You will need 2 dice and a piece of paper.  Roll the dice and look at your numbers.  If you get a 4 and a 2,

turn that into your multiplication sum so 4 x 2=

Draw an array to answer it.  Keep going and see how many different sums you can make.

As it is Armistice Day, it would be lovely if you could pause what you are doing and spare a thought for those who have given up so much in war and conflicts around the world. We will be observing the 2 minute silence at 11am in school.

Please can you practise your spellings and read your reading book.

In English we are looking again at the Great Fire of London and ‘who, what, where, when, why’ (or 5 Ws).  Today we are going to write the introduction to our newspaper report.  We will be using all of the 5Ws in the introduction so that the reader knows exactly what is happening.  Your introduction should only be 5 or 6 sentences long and is the first part of the newspaper that we will be continuing tomorrow.  Choose your favourite newspaper page layout from the selection below.

This afternoon is our PE afternoon.  You could make up a dance to your favourite song or set up an assault course in the garden. If the weather is unpleasant, you could always have a go at the yoga below.

Have a lovely day,

Love from Mrs Pope x
