Expertly selected books for 7 and 8 year old children (lovereading4kids.co.uk)
Reading
Children are asked to read at home on a daily basis and their book should be brought to school each day. It is helpful if parents can comment regularly in their child’s Reading Record, particularly when their child has finished their book. Children are responsible for changing and selecting their own books in the morning.
Homework
Children will be given homework each Friday to be handed in by the following Tuesday. Children are also asked to learn spellings and times tables at home. They are responsible for recording their homework in their homework diary.
Other
Children are asked to bring to school a water bottle. They should have a waterproof coat when it is raining or the forecast is for rain.
This week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we will work on money. We will ensure that everyone knows the value of coins and notes, learn to convert between pence and pounds, add and subtract money and give change.
- In English we will plan and write the scripts for TV advertisements for our muesli.
- In science we will learn about the heart.
- In topic time we will learn about the importance of sleep. It would be very helpful if everyone completes their sleep survey and brings it in on Tuesday.
