Thursday 18th June
A letter has been sent home regarding our class trip to Blackpool. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Homework
This week's spellings are listed below. There are activities assigned on Spelling Shed for your children to complete based on our new spellings. The children are tested weekly on a Thursday.
Reading
We ask the children to read as much as possible as there are huge benefits to this within all areas of the curriculum. Children can bring their book back into school any day and they are able to change them independently. Could you please encourage your children to read as much as possible and record this in their reading record.
TT Rockstars
Please encourage your child to access their TT Rockstars account and complete tasks and challenges on the website to practice their times tables.
English
In Maths this week, we have continued to build on our understanding of fractions. The children have been practising how to add and subtract fractions, carefully following clear steps to ensure accuracy. We used our “Steps to Success” to guide our thinking and support us in solving each problem. Can you answer the question below based on fractions?
