 ***cross country***

The class is buzzing, they are all working busily.  We are learning to write opinions - should we have Wheels Day every Friday?  Should we get pocket money?  Should we bring toys to school?  The focus is on writing reasons! Mmm interesting.
 
  
Keep  reading daily - we get better at reading by reading.
 
 
Remember library books on Tuesdays.
 
If you are concerned about your child's spelling ability, I have a page with good tips on it - just ask.  BUT...
I find the best idea is this.
Highlight the part your child is having trouble with.   eg
 
  ground     they know gr and nd
 
so only need to learn the middle.  Take a "photo" of it at eye level or above, repeat it aloud then write it.  Have success.
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 




   

       ** Star for week 6: **

         Tino pai Jamie
REMEMBER house colours for our cross country run on Wednesday + running shoes.
 
*Spelling lists*
we are focussing on or sounds in words this week.
 - for, four, bought, saw, poor, more, caught - so many different patterns, very tricky
 
Duty & Consideration 
are the values this term.  
  
It's really important to keep practising basic facts at every opportunity.  They are the basis of all our numeracy work - those that practise often are the ones who grasp the strategies promptly.  They have a stronger sense of number.
 
Term Two - multiplication - times tables!
 
Thanks for 'finding' sports shoes for our cross country running.  They are loving their daily runs.  Keep practising at home!
