Literacy
Last week the children identified qualities that role models have and thought carefully about how they could also be role models for others. They learned about Amelia Earhart and discussed how she displayed role model qualities to many. This week we are continuing to further our knowledge on iconic role models. We have started to find out about Malala through reading her biography on Reading A-Z. This has introduced lots of new vocabulary to the class. They might be asking you lots of questions about issues around the world due to this. Spelling- I have not given out any new spelling lists this week. As children are starting to leave we will no longer have weekly spelling tests. I will however, be sending home the Fry’s Word lists which are high frequency words children use regularly in their writing. I will highlight the words that they could practice spelling over the next few weeks and during the break. Library Books Last Thursday was our last chance to receive new books. Please can you help your child to remember to bring in any Library books they have at home for this Thursday. Reading A-Z After completing the end of year reading assessments I have moved everyone’s individual reading levels. Please continue to access this website as it is a fantastic resource for leveled reading books with comprehension quizzes. *If you no longer have the log in details, please let me know and I can resend them to you. Maths This week we are continuing with directions and mapping. Grade 2 step up to Grade 3 morning This will be held next Monday 12th June. Our class has been split into three new classes. This year the children will go to their new teacher along with their new class mates. Lots of consideration has gone into how the class has been split. This has included finding out from the children who they would like to be with, who they are sensible with, and who they work well with as well as considerations from myself and Miss Charmea.
