Week beginning Monday 17th December

We will be using a picture as a stimulus for our writing this week. We hope that the children will be able to use all of the vocabulary and grammar that has been embedded in our learning from last week to write a narrative.

Reading

We will be finishing reading The Giraffe, The Pelly and Me by Roald Dahl.

Maths

We will be continuing our work on multiplication and division. This week we will be making mulitplication sentences using pictures. We are building on the idea of recognising equal groups. For example if there are three equal groups with 2 in each group then we would say there are 3 x 2 (three groups of two). We will also be using arrays to represent multiplication number sentences.

History

We will be making information booklets about Florence Nightingale based on what we have learnt so far.

Reminder

Class Christmas parties will be taking place on Wednesday 19th. We have decided to ask for a voluntary contribution of 50p for each child. We are then going to get a range of food etc that the children have suggested. We believe this will reduce the amount of food that is wasted and make things easier for you! Thanks. 🙂
