RECEPTION
This week in Reception we are continuing with our comparison of life in our country and life in another country - The Gambia. We are going to be trying to write our own versions of the story 'Fatou, Fetch the Water'. In Maths we are revising finding half of a number and this time we are also trying to find half of a shape. Don't forget that this Friday 16th June is our Pirate Dress Up Day where your child can come to school dressed as a Pirate for lots of pirate-themed activities!
YEAR 1
In English, we are going to look at the book 'The Queen's Hat'. We're going to write main clauses extended with conjunctions (and, because, so). We are also going to use noun phrases (busy tube, blue hat, etc.) to make our sentences more interesting.
In Maths, we are going to use number lines to solve addition and subtraction number sentences. We are also going to use word problems to understand which operation (addition or subtraction) is needed to solve the problem.

Next week in year 3 we will be continuing to focus on fractions, looking at equivalent as well as adding and subtracting them. In English we have a brilliant week planned where we will be holding a debate all based around our book, Space Band! Thank you so much for all of the amazing Tudor houses that have come in this week; we are currently working out where to display them!
