English – At the start of the week the children edited and improved their recounts about their trip to Chester zoo. They all worked really hard to improve their writing by using a range of conjunctions to extend their ideas and using different punctuation. They then planned another recount based on their own experiences and will be writing these up next week. In Read, Write, Inc red group have been reading the book ‘Do we have to keep it?’ and blue group have been reading ‘The dressing up box’. The rest of the class have been focusing on adding extra information to their sentences using the subordinating conjunctions when, if, that, because.
Maths – This week we have been subtracting a 2-digit number from a 2-digit number, first of all not crossing the tens, then crossing the tens by subtracting ones and tens. The children have been using equipment such as Base 10 and number lines to help with their working out and they have solved problems linked to this work.
Science – We looked at and discussed the life cycle of a frog. The children were shown a short video to explain how a frog grows from frogspawn, to a tadpole, to a froglet and finally a frog.
Spellings – To be tested on Friday 7th December

The children have also been trying really hard with their nativity rehearsals this week in church. We thank you for all your help and support with your children learning all their lines.
Have a lovely weekend.
