Good afternoon,
I hope you have all had a great week. We have had another fantastic week in Mrs Sim’s circus.
In IPC, we started looking at the history of circuses and researched Circus Maximus and the chariot racing. We designed our own comic strips, made some lovely artwork and used ‘Storyboard’ to practise using our laptops whilst designing circus scenes. We even made our very own “Circus Information Books”. I am having more fun than the students with this unit hehe.
In English, we learned how to extend sentences using conjunctions ‘and’ ‘or’ or ‘but’. This will help children during writing time. We made our own sentences and looked at how the conjunctions were used in our class story “Why not me?” by Ruth Merttens.
Year 2 Students
I have shared the story, “Why not me?” with you all and the sentence homework relates to this. It is for year 2 students only. Please check your emails if you wish to read it at home before completing this week’s homework.
Homework
Thank you to everyone for sending the homework in the files. I was a very happy teacher preparing the homework this morning! Much appreciated.
Phonics Books
A gentle reminder to return the phonics books every Friday. A few students didn’t return them this morning. Please could you return them on Monday. I am missing a blue one and a pink one. Thank you so much.
Halloween Party
Plans are well underway for our amazing Halloween Party and the PTA have been working so hard getting everything ready for it. The children are getting excited about their costumes and all the candy they want to receive!
Spelling Tests
The students have all been working hard and did fantastically on their tests again this week. Thank you to you all for practising at home.
That’s all for this week. See you all on Monday! 🙂
