Aspire not to have more but to be more – St Oscar Romero
Good morning to all the Galileo boys, girls and parents,
We hope that you have had a good start to the final week of the school year. This afternoon Mrs Davies and I will be drawing the raffle for this term's Bob and Dougal prizes. We will add a video so you can find out whether you have won! Well done to you all for your hard work over the past few months, both children and parents. We have loved you sharing the work that you have been busy doing at home.
As mentioned on yesterday's web page, your child's report and books are available for collection from the school office at 1pm tomorrow (Wednesday). The children in school will bring their books home with them at the time they finish school.
Here is the plan for today...
Please keep practising your reading by watching the Read, Write Inc. videos. In school the children are really enjoying the videos and are definitely benefiting from the regular teaching of the sounds, reading the words and spelling. Today I would suggest watching the following videos:
Spellings and Handwriting
Please continue to keep practising the sets of spellings over the holidays. The full spellings list has a separate star on the Galileo web pages (link below). The spellings in blue boxes are Year 1 spellings and those in yellow boxes are common exception words which children should know by the end of Year 2, so please keep working on all these words. I have also attached a copy of the Complex Sound Chart which you may find helpful. Encourage your child to use their Fred Fingers and the Complex Sound Chart when spelling words, they should be familiar with this from completing Read, Write Inc. spellings.
Over the holidays it would be great if your child could also continue to practise their handwriting, using 'get ready' lines. This can be encouraged whenever your child is doing any writing at home.
Reading
Yesterday, the children in Year 2 had the opportunity to complete a reading scavenger hunt. I thought you may also enjoy this challenge so it is here to download and enjoy.
Our Maths Learning Today
Yesterday we looked at different coins. Today we start our learning by looking at different notes and their value.
Watch the short video; pausing to do any working out on your whiteboard (if you are in class)and on a white board or paper/ your green books if you are at home. See how well you can do on the challenges set...
