Dear parents - I’m looking forward to seeing you all this week - it will be great to share with you how your child’s learning is progressing.
This week the children have some explaining to do. I would like them to explain to you the maths they are solving and the spelling rule they have been learning. I have included videos for you to watch. You can choose to watch these together or on your own. I would very much like the children to be the teacher- remember -
“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I teach and I understand.
Confucius”
SPELLING and HANDWRITING
Explain the doubling rule when adding ed or ing to a verb to your parents. Then write a short sentence with the following verbs make sure you have added ed or ing to them in the sentence ( 6 sentences in total - best cursive writing please capital letters and full stops). Watch the video to go over the verb with your child if they need a little help.

Worksheets in books this week. You have two. The video explains how important it is for the children to explain the steps to show they are mastering the maths - explaining as they go. The video is here to help.
