Reading

Children will have a reading book chosen by themselves appropriate to their reading level. Accompanying these books are their reading diaries, where you can write comments on their reading daily. Your child will also be given many opportunities    throughout the week to read a variety of texts. The children also choose a book from our reading corner.

We will revisit telling the time to o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to. We will learn about telling time to the nearest 5 minutes. During number and place value we will deepen our understanding of partitioning two digit numbers, use greater than and less than signs and place numbers correctly on a number line. We will add and subtract numbers including exchanging by using jottings as a method to support. We will begin to look at temperature and start to understand if it is hot or cold. When learning about fractions, we will recognise and find one third of a shape or quantity.

SNACK 

It is important to note your child can bring a healthy snack at break times such as fruit or vegetables and milk.  We also encourage your child to bring water to drink in class throughout the day, but they may bring something else to drink with their packed lunch. 

The pupils can bring their own bottle of water each day.
