Please practise telling the time at home to the nearest minute.
The children must be able to tell the time in words eg. 5 past 6 and in digital 6:05
                                                                                  eg. 25 minutes to 3  / 2:35
This is something we will be working on all week, with a view to solving problems involving time.
If your child is unsure of telling the time in words in Spanish, please help them.
Please practise the above games.
Telling the time is something on-going that we need to keep working on together at home and in class, coming back to it frequently.
Many children use a digital watch, but it is important they can tell the time to the nearest minute on an analogue clock too, saying the time in words.
Thanks for your support.

In Science we've been using classification keys to identify Living Things and explore their characteristics. Today the children worked in small groups to produce their own Classification Key to sort and identify mini-beasts.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today we celebrated friendship! We played ' Musical Friends'. When the music stopped, each child wrote something special on their classmates' heart on their back. We played this until all of the hearts  were full of positive uplifting, personal thoughts about their friends. When the children read these words and phrases it made them feel special and realise how valued they are by everyone in the class!
