Term 3, Week 9
Week beginning - Monday 14th SeptemberTerm 3, Week 9
Student weekly writing goal: I can use capital letters and full stops in the right places.
Explanation of goal: This week we are focusing on using capital letters and full stops in the right places when we write. Remember we only use capital letters at the beginning of a sentence or for a proper noun (a name or place), and we only use full stops to end a sentence.
Here is a reminder of all our writing goals:
I can correctly form uppercase and lowercase letters
I can read over my writing to check for mistakes
I can use interesting words when I write
I can use letter sounds when I write
I can use the lines in my book to form my letters
I can think of a sentence to write

Student weekly writing goal: I can correctly form upper and lower case letters.
Explanation of goal: This week we are focusing on using the capital ad lower case letters in the correct places when we write. It is important to remember that we only use a capital letter at the beginning of a new sentence or for a proper noun (a name or place). Sometimes it might be easier to write the capital version of a letter, but we need to try our hardest to only use lower case letters in the middle of sentences and words.

Student weekly writing goal: I can read over my writing to check for mistakes
Explanation of goal: This week we are focusing on reading over our writing to check for mistakes. Making mistakes in writing is okay because we can always go back and fix them! This is called editing. Mistakes that you can look for are capital letters and full stops in the correct places, finger spaces and correct spelling. At the end of each writing session, practise this goal by reading over your writing and fixing any mistakes with a red pencil.

Term 3, Week 4
Week beginning - Monday 10th AugustTerm 3, Week 4
Student weekly writing goal: I can use letter sounds when I write
Explanation of goal: This week we are focusing on using all of the letter sounds that we can hear whilst we are writing. It is helpful to think of a sentence before you begin to write, then say each word out loud as you go. Think of the sounds you can hear and write them on your page. Remember it doesn’t matter if all the words aren’t correct, you can just underline them with a red pencil and get someone in your family to write it on top once you are done!
Make sure you practise this goal whilst completing all your writing activities throughout the week!

Student weekly writing goal: I can use the lines in my book to form my letters
This week we are working on using the lines in our writing books to form letters. Use the guide at the start of your book to help you write your letters correctly on the lines. Some letters stay in the body of the cat, some are in the body and the head, some are in the body and tail, and some take up the whole cat! Look closely to see where each letter sits on the lines.
Make sure you practise this goal whilst completing all your writing activities throughout the week!

Focus: On the weekend
Recount writing is writing about events that have already happened. You can choose to write about what you did on the weekend, or about something else that has happened in the last week. Think about where you went, what you did and who you were with. Remember, good writers write more than one sentence so have a go at writing two or three sentences.
Look at the recount writing posters to find out what else you can include in your recount writing!

Part 1: Germ Experiment
After playing outside on the playground or in a sandpit, it can be easy to see the dirt on our hands. When we see that our hands are dirty, we wash them! But what about the germs that you can’t see? Even if your hands don’t look dirty, there can still be germs hiding on them. That’s why it’s so important to wash our hands often. This experiment will show us what can happen when the germs from our hands touch other things.
After a few days you should start to notice some changes to the bread. Record what you notice on the sheet below or use your workbook.
Germ Experiment InstructionsPart 2: Write about what you observed
In your writing book, you are going to write about the germ experiment. You can write what you did to each piece of bread and what you saw happen to each piece after a few days. Try to use some interesting words in your writing to describe the bread. You can use the pictures and words you recorded on your sheet or in your workbook to help you.

Student weekly writing goal: I can think of a sentence to write.
This week we are continuing to focus on thinking of a sentence in our head before we begin to write! This is important as it helps students focus on the letter/sounds and other writing conventions such as punctuation and spaces, rather than thinking of what word to put next in their sentence.
Make sure you practise this goal whilst completing all your writing activities throughout the week!

This term we are beginning to write in new writing books which use lines. This is brand new for our Foundation students, so they will take some time to practise and get used to this way of writing. Please watch the below teacher videos explaining the way to use our new writing books:
