Writing:

As part of our regular focus on writing we are celebrating Deklan's top quality writing this week. Deklan's story about thunder and lightning was recognised by Mrs Gulbransen as being top quality work. His story is below

"When there is thunder and lightning I go to my mums room and get in her bed! I pull the covers up. Once I got scared and after a little while I looked out the window and then boom boom went the lightning. It was dark outside and in my room. I went downstairs to get a torch and when I had the torch I went back up the stairs and got back in my bed and turned the torch on. Then my dad came in and told me it's ok and then he got in bed with me and then he told me a story. A spooky story. I wasn't scared anymore. The end. "

Maths : 

We are focussing on geometry and skip counting in 2's 5's and 10's. To support at home it would be great if you could count with your child in 2's, 5's and 10's to support the learning the they are doing at school. With geometry get them to identify geometric shapes they come across in everyday life. Get them to describe the shape telling you about it.
