On Monday we received a newsletter from our twin school in Africa! We were very excited to read about the children and have begun to write our own newsletters back.
Mrs. Howell who retired recently came to talk to the children about Tyume Valley Schools as she is somewhat of an expert having visited 6 times now. Miss Fooks and Phoebe have also visited so were able to help us understand the similarities and differences also. So we are now going to include in our newsletters information about the area that we live in that the children may find interesting or surprising.
In maths we have been learning about fractions this week the children made excellent progress but fractions remains a concept many children and adults find tricky. Please use the language of halves, thirds and quarters around your home (when you share a pizza for example). This will really help to embed their learning.
We have a creative home learning for the children this week – this has been stuck in your children’s Home Learning Adventures and appears below.
Home Learning 19/11/15
Please complete by Tuesday 24th November
For home learning this week we would like the children to find out about their name.
Who decided on their name?
Why was their name chosen?
What does it mean?
What sort of person were they expected to be because of their name choice? (If relevant)
Children then create a banner with their name on. Make it attractive and provide the answer to the questions on the banner.
This is related to our learning in RE when we will be finding out what the prophet Isaiah called Jesus.
It is very nearly Advent and we have started to put together our Christmas Nativity! Look out for letters with information coming soon.
Kind regards,
Mrs. Luter and Miss Allen
