Welcome back to the Autumn Term! (6.9.17)
We have had a great Wednesday!
We are really pleased with the
excellent start the children have made today. They have settled in very nicely
and are showing lots of enthusiasm and interest in the work.
Today we did some Story-writing,
Reading, Singing, Science (learning about “Rocks”) and Handwriting Practice.
The children have now got a new
Reading Record Booklet and a Guided Reading Book. Please can they keep these in
their “book bags”? We have also given out Spelling Lists (see information below)
and a Home Learning Activity for the next week (making a poster – “Rocks are
really Useful”).
Year Three
- Spelling “Home Learning”
Every Wednesday,
we will be sending the children home with “Spelling Lists”. This will be a
sheet of paper with 4 lists on it. The children will have a “test/quiz” on the
words from the lists on the following Wednesday.
The children
should choose 2 lists that they feel they need to learn - and should only be learning 2 lists from the
selection of four. In other words, if they are learning the words on lists 3
and 4 then that is because they are confident that they can already manage the
words on lists 1 and 2. (Some children will be asked to focus on just one
list.)
Children in the
past have enjoyed this approach.
Spare copies of
the “Spelling Lists” are available in the tray by the classroom door.
