Home learning next week will be to complete a transition booklet and a maths mystery. We will also include some optional Summer activity booklets but would like you to have a well earned break! If your child is coming to the end of their reading book all of our books are available online as ebooks. Stylistically, the illustrations have a vintage nostalgic, almost Famous Five feel and it was this that I found most appealing about the book. Although there's a powerful sense of drama in much of the artwork, there's also a friendliness too, tempering the story's more scarier moments. To write with a good level of consistency, meaning all letters are positioned on the line and are the same size as each other. It is crucial that not only are your Year 1 and Year 2 kids exploded to new vocabulary, but that they also develop an understanding of the word and how it can be used.

The Secret Of Black Rock by Joe Todd-Stanton | Goodreads

Our school has done so well so far with the Virtual School Games, all year groups have won an event, our year 1's and 2's were named Berkshire County Champions for last week's Enduro challenge, which is AMAZING! It's been a couple of years since I set myself a reading challenge/target/thingy, but I got into a bit of a reading slump late last year, and I decided I needed to shake things up a bit. My kid is getting to an age now where the stories we're reading together are becoming interesting to me as well as him (no offence to things like Bigger Digger, but I'm glad those days are in the past!), so I thought I'd include some of these too (and I've set the target to a much higher number than normal, so I'm not cheating myself!). I'm going to start getting into a bit of Roald Dahl, things like that. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to hear them. Erin loves to lie on the jetty, looking for the weirdest fish in the sea—the weirder, the better! And she knows the best ones must be further out, where her mum won’t let her go… Forming lower case and capital letters in the right direction, starting and finishing in the right place.This has to be a real school team effort! The children at school have been taking part in these events, but they need your help at home too! So have a go and send in your scores! Come on Holyport... We can do it!
