Spring Week 9 2017

TOPIC - AROUND THE WORLD IN 60 DAYS!

This week our world travel topic has taken us to India. On Thursday, we welcomed Sunnita from The Indian Experience to school, when Diamond an Emerald class took part in Bollywood dancing, dressed up in traditional Indian clothes and created Rangoli patterns and designs.

Maths - All children have explored direction and movement, learning about whole, half, quarter and three quarter turns. We have also learnt what ‘clockwise and anti-clockwise’ mean and used this positional language to describe the movement of objects. Further consolidation opportunities are attached. In response to parent’s feedback, homework sheets are available in both PDF and Word format.

*Children are rewarded for completing homework and he/she will receive signatures from their teachers in this respect.

Please encourage your child to read regularly, it makes such a difference. It’s great to see you writing short comments in their reading diary too. Your time in supporting your child’s learning is greatly appreciated.
