If all goes to plan, here is what we are learning this week. 

In English and Communication, we are completing our frost fair diary entries. We are also using play scripts to rehearse the nativity. In phonics, we are adding 'er' and 'est' to words ending in /y/. Our tricky words are 'poor' and 'great'. Our grammar focus is using adjectives to create expanded noun phrases. 

In Maths, we are focusing on addition and subtraction. We will learn to subtract a single-digit number from any 2-digit number. We will then solve addition and subtraction calculations in context. 

In Science and Computing, we are learning how to take and improve digital photographs.

We will also complete Guided Reading, PE, PHSCE, RE, Mastering Number and Design and the Arts lessons as well. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly using the class email address.
