In Maths we have made a start with addition and have been particularly focussing on using a mental strategy called jump strategy by bridging to ten. We have been writing our thinking down to show our learning.
The children have continued to focus on the reading comprehension strategy: Inferring. We have been looking at what different kinds of information we can find out by reading and re-reading short story segments. Our new text type focus is narrative and the children have started to recognise the features of a story.
People worldwide have access to rights and opportunities that can look different.
- Difference between needs and wants (Perspective)
- Children’s rights and responsibilities (Responsibility)
- How children rights are protected (Reflection)
Next week we will be reflecting on the responsibilities they used to look after their flour baby. The children will begin looking into their chosen right that interests them.
Next week we will continue our focus on mental addition strategies and using them in maths challenges. The strategies we are focusing on are:
– Breaking each number into its place value (partitioning / split strategy), e.g. 47 + 78 = (40+70) + (7+8)
– Adding up in Chunks (jump strategy), e.g. 78+34=
78+10+10+10+4
Mathletics passwords are in your child’s diary. Please make sure that an adult supports your child when working through the activities.

Growth Mindset Planning for Parent Information Evening
Thursday 26th October 6.30pm-7.30pm
At school we often talk to the children about taking on challenges and working towards our own small goals in order to be able to make bigger achievements. This is a big part of our focus on Growth Mindset. If you would like to know more, please take a look at this book by Dr Carol Dweck, or catch one of her youtube videos or TED talks.
