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.
The children have settled back into school really well after their half term break. This week our learning will be as follows;
- In mathematics we will work on statistics. We will create tally charts, bar charts, diagrams and tables. We will also answer one and two step questions based on data presented.
- In English we will plan and write our own version of Dream Big by Deloris Jordan. We will make our own dreams the focus of the story.
- In science we will learn how to carry out a health check on another person.
- In topic time we will plan and make our own nut free muesli.
