Welcome to Miss Wilson who we are delighted to have working with Goldfinches and Robins classes:

Writing: We will be developing our use of fronted adverbials through a diary based on ‘When the Giant Stirred’

Reading: We will find out more about our new shared reading text ‘Ariki and the Island of Wonders’ and identify the different question types as well as improving our fluency in reading.

Maths: Monday with Mrs Judge will be learning about time and Maths with Mrs Evans will continue to focus on multiplication problems, multiplying 2digits by 1 digit and 3 digits by 1 digit.

Times Tables Homework:

Goldfinches have been challenging themselves in class to get quicker at the Maths Frame Multiplications check game. This is also helping them to recognise which times tables they need more practice on.
