English: Reading Comprehension:

We have been working on reading questions carefully, and on returning to the text to answer the questions. We would like to ask you to help your child check they understand the question by looking for key words such as ‘Who’, ‘Why’, ‘Where…, and then re-reading the relevant section of the text again to ensure they find the right answer.

RE: Treasures

Topic

The children have all really enjoyed exploring a new technique in art this week. They have had the opportunity to create a mosaic, to create a picture using chalk pastels or to create a watery image using marbling inks.

As we spent extra time on maths and writing his week, we will carry our science on micro-habitats over to next week.

To help the children develop their writing stamina, we will again be re-writing a story. The children are beginning to listen more carefully, and their writing is becoming better as they are starting to incorporate more detail, using adjectives, adverbs (quickly, suddenly, anxiously) and connectives (as, so, because).
