Talk Homework (25/1/13)
Dear Parents,
This week your child’s Talk homework is to;
Think about what their favourite book is, and explain what happens in it, who the characters are, what their favourite part is and why they like it.
Please chat to your child on this topic and others surrounding it. This will help support their writing on Friday
If possible, could the T.V be turned off while the discussion is taking place!
Thanks you for your support.
Music! Music! Music!
This week we have been very musical, we have learnt about accompaniments, intro's, we have used instruments to create a beat, listened to a variety of music from different countries/cultures, discussed music in general; why its so important to us and its uses and sang in a call and response, generally had lots of fun.
Here are some photographs of us as musicians;

I am also
going to be introducing Learn By Heart, this is a Maths initiative, I set a
Maths challenge (e.g. learn 3 times tables) for the children to learn over a 2
week period, at the end of the fortnight a short test will be given. The Learn
By Heart challenge will be stapled into your child’s learning log, this is just
for reference and can be removed.
I would be very grateful if you could encourage your child to complete every piece of homework and to hand it in on time. It is essential for your child to get into a routine before they start high school.
