As we value your support in your child’s education, we thought it might be nice to let you know what we will be learning about next week. This gives you the opportunity to talk to your child about these things and see what they already know. You might want to look at websites (remember the log ins we gave you for Espresso and Purple Mash), or look at books together. That way your child will feel happy and confident in their learning.
In Mathematics we are learning to tell the time – o’ clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. They also have to be able to tell the time to 5 minutes – try counting in fives as you look at a clock or watch at home. Talk about how many seconds in a minute and how many minutes in an hour too!
In English we are going to be learning the story of Red Riding Hood. Maybe you have this book at home or try looking up activities on Espresso or Purple Mash for ideas. Your child may want to try and write the story or draw a story map at home. Please send in any work they do at home – we love to see it!
Next week we are going to be Historians, learning all about The Great Fire of London – we will be creating timelines, using language that shows the passing of time (in the past, happened, a long time ago), and using computers and books to find out more about this event.
Happy learning together!
