In reading and writing we will be focusing on different vocabulary used within sentences, punctuation and using our phonics.
Challenge yourself to write a shopping list, a letter, an advert or a story at home using these skills.

We begin each session with an interactive activity called ‘Magical Maths’ where all children have the time to practise previous taught methods and strategies. In future weeks we will be exploring the concepts of number. Practising skills such as adding, taking away and partitioning.
Spellings are given out each Friday to learn for a test the following week. Please remember to practise little and often and apply each in your independent writing.
