Only a couple of weeks left to hit your reading target- lets aim for at least 20 minutes of reading per day. You will be amazed by how much you can read in a week if you stick to this routine.

Maths

The children have a sheet of word problems to complete in their homework books. You can choose any of the four methods we have learned over this unit of work but you HAVE TO SHOW YOUR JOTTING IN YOUR HOMEWORK BOOK.

  1. Multiplying 2 digit by 1 digit numbers using short multiplication- word problems

Spellings

We have changed our spelling practice lessons in school to focus more on retrieval spellings- especially our high frequency and common words.

KS2 Christmas Carol Practice

This week, we have learned three songs for our Christmas celebration which will be in church on Tuesday 16th December. Please practice and learn these off by heart.

Silent Night- French

We are challenging ourselves this year by applying our french skills to one of our most well known Christmas carols. We will only be singing up to 2:12 on the video. We have split the song into 3 verses. Year 5/6 will sing verse one which will be from 0:00-0:43 seconds on the video. Year 3/4 will then sing verse two and everybody will be joining in for the final verse which will be 1:28- 2:12. The children have all been given a song booklet of our Christmas songs.
