Hi Everyone

This week we will be immersed in our two wonderful texts The Iron Man and Stone Age Boy to help us with our Reading and Writing lessons. We will be using the suffixes er/est to enhance our setting descriptions and learning how to write a speech sandwich! We will also be using our inference skills to explain a character's feelings and actions.

In Maths, we will be problem solving using a combination of addition and subtraction. We will consolidate our written methods as well as deciding which questions we could solve mentally. We will also continue to work on the rapid recall of our multiplication and division facts. 

Mrs Rice's spellings this week are focusing on when the letter 'y' makes the 'i' sound. Our words are:

Egypt, gym, myth, pyramid, cymbals, mystery, myserious and syllable.

Mrs Brennan's spellings are focusing the suffix less and ness. Our words are:

fearless, foolishness, goodnesss, illness, sadness, endless, faultless

Our RE work will provide us with the opportunities to explore how other religions worship. We will learn about Judaism, Islam and Hinduism. We will then compare and contrast these religions. 

Our Science work is focusing on rocks and soils. We will be exploring the properties of various rocks and classifing them based on their properties. 

The children are really enjoying how our book area is organised into author baskets and have asked to vote for a new author to be added to our collection which is really exciting and a good example of the British Value Democracy. Please continue to read at home with your child for pleasure, as this enhances their imagination and vocabulary so much as well as being a wonderful relaxation time. 

Thank you for your continued support. Please come and see myself or Mrs Brennan if you have any questions.

Love from Mrs Rice and Mrs Brennan xxx
