Our class text this term

This term we will be reading Heidi by johanna Spyri . Feel free to purchase this book for your child or if they have this book to bring it in to read along.

Read the blurb below; 

'Little Heidi loves living with her gruff grandfather in his secluded hut high is the Swiss Alps, roaming through the meadows, and listening to the sweet sound of cattle bells. When Heidi is sent to work for a wealthy family in the big city, she thinks she'll never stop feeling homesick. But she soon befriends the family's young disabled daughter, Clara , through tales of her adventures in the mountains, and life becomes less lonely. Heidi is therefore delighted when she and Clara are sent back to the mountains - finally she can show her friend the wonders of the mountains for real! But when disaster strikes, Heidi must care for her friend like never before.
Heidi is rightly heralded as one of the most evocative children's classics of all time, and this sweet story about friendship, adventure, positivity and kindness is sure to fill your heart with joy.'

 

 

Times Tables

We will be doing lots of work on our times tables in class this term to support the children with their upcoming timetables check in June. Andersen Class's expectation for their timetables is for them to complete at least 3 of the times games a day (This should only take 5-10 minutes), as well as this I have said to the children if they are struggling with a certain times tables they can practise that times tables on doodles times.

Each week I will pick three children that are showing commitment and hard work to their times tables to pick  from our prize box.

Just want to add that all the children are working extremely hard on their times tables. Keep up the hard work! 

 

These are our school expectations.

• To remain in their green zone on doodle maths, doodle spell, and doodle time each week.
• To read 3x a week and to record it in their home school diary.
• For children to have their PE kit every PE session with appropriate shoes.
• For children to complete their silver reading challenge (This can be found at the back of your child’s home school dairy) or their bronze if not yet completed.
• For children to go on Edshed every night and complete at least 2-3  timed game ( takes 5-10 minutes)
