Good  morning everyone. I hope you are all well this morning. 

Wonderful Work

Last week my laptop was so full of all of your wonderful work that it was bursting! We love to see your work and I know all of your friends do too, so here is some more to enjoy. I think we could maybe have our own programme on television; Bursting with Brilliance in Beech Class! What do you think?

The Wednesday Word

Our Learning Today

• Our final read of our books - followed by questions
• Join Rosie for our speedy sounds from 9.30am
• Grammar and writing - revising our work from last week and putting these into practice as we write onto the back of our postcards we illustrated for our Geography work last week.
•  Maths
• Geography - I've swapped our Geography and art afternoons around so I can introduce you to the animals we would find in Kenya before we start to illustrate them. It will be art tomorrow afternoon.

Today it's your final read of your  books; 'Good Old Grandad' or 'Carrion Creatures.' Your challenge is to read the book fluently and to make it interesting to the listener. You can do this by adding expression to your voice as you read. As you have read the book three times you should have a very good understanding of what you have read. Move onto the back of the book then and see if you can answer the questions. Good luck. 

Speedy Sounds with Rosie -Read, Write, Inc...

 Join Rosie to practice your sound knowledge. Remember this will help you with your reading, spelling and writing. 

Today's sounds are;

Set 2 -ir

Set 3 - oe

Longer words for year 2 or any year 1's who fancy a challenge...or and aw

Grammar 

Year 1 or any year 2 children who would like to revise writing capital letters. Have a pencil and paper ready or a white board!

Last week year 1's you were looking at where we need capital letters - at the start of our sentences and for the name of people, places and for some things/ objects. But do we know what the capital letter for each lower case letter looks like? What the video below to learn, practice and to help you remember. There is a quiz at the end too! You don't need to do the written task because we are writing on the back of our postcards from last week for our writing job. 

For Year 2 children who feel ready to continue our work on contractions. That's when we take two words, put them together and take one or more than one letter out to replace them with an apostrophe and make a shorter word.

For example, I am becomes I'm

And don't worry; we will keep revisiting these so we get better and better at using them!

Our Maths Learning Today

Year 1 

Well today super star mathematicians you start our new block of learning; Numbers and Place Value to 50.

You will be learning how grouping objects into sets of tens and ones makes it easier to count. 

I will include a number line on screen and to download to help with this unit. It's in two halves because you print it out and stick it together. 

Our Afternoon Learning - Geography - with an artistic edge!

 Today we learn about the animals who live in the wild in Kenya. We will learn which animals we would find in Kenya and we will recognise that these are very different to the animals we would find in England. We might have some of these animals in our zoos but these animals would not be otherwise found here.
