Let’s Catch Up.
A busy start to our term. I hope you are enjoying your child’s posts on Seesaw, they certainly enjoy receiving your feedback.
đThis week we will be participating in National Simultaneous Storytime. Schools reading/ listening to the same story, ‘The Cow Tripped Over the Moon.’ Â at the same time. We made cow masks with our buddy class to wear during the reading.
đ There is no  borrowing this week as the library  hosts our  annual book fair. We will be visiting the book fair  and your child will bring a’ Wishlist’ home of books , you may like to purchase. Of course there is no obligation and I will chat to the students about this. More information in the school newsletter.
đIn phonics we are learning about digraphs: 2 letters making one sound. It is important that the sound can be heard, correctly articulated and written. This can be tricky!
đWe have started weekly dictation. Things to look for in your child’s work….letter formation: correct starting points with no reversals, finger spaces, capital letter at the beginning of the sentence, full stop at the end, correct writing of simple sight words, hearing and writing correct sounds in words, remembering the correct sequence of words, illustration to match the sentence ( this reinforces reading comprehension.)
đ We have worked hard to be ‘Super Hero Learners’ (S.H.L)  and apply these qualities to solving number  problems in Maths. So what do S.H.Ls do? They look for clues, listen to ideas of others,  think about what is being said,ask questions,talk to each other, work co operatively,explain their thinking and record thinking.
