Jolly Grammar –  We have been looking at some tricky sounds, ture and ie (ee) as well as suffixes and using interesting words into our writing.

Writing – Haiku poems are a type of Japanese poem and consist of 3 lines, with 17 syllables. We have had a go at writing some. They are usually about nature.

Sight words – New sight words for spelling have come home in diaries this week.

Readers – All readers should be returned. No readers over the weekend. Please come in and help us check all our reader boxes for missing readers if you have time next week. Thanks in anticipation.

Library books – All library books must be returned on Monday, ready for stocktake.

Book boxes are almost empty. We want to keep reading for the next three weeks, so please send along a favourite book and some Christmas stories to share. All books need to be named please.

Maths –  As part of our topic on Fractions we are looking at dividing shapes and collections into equal parts – ½, ¼ and 1/8. We find dividing shapes into equal parts than collections of things. You could try this at home when sharing things amongst family members.

Health – We have talked about us all feeling safe all of the time and if we don’t that we need to talk to a trusted adult. We have revised our Network of trusted adults to include adults who will listen to us and help us with strategies to feel happy and safe again.
