Thursday 4th June 2020
Good morning everyone! Once again I will be in school today so apologies if I don’t get to your emails until lunchtime. We have reached the point of the week when I hand over to Mrs McGill, so if you have any urgent queries on Friday, please address them to her as I will not be back online till Monday.
Maths
We are continuing our work on division through grouping today, question 4 uses a number line for the division, in my experience, some children really take to this but others can find it quite tricky, so if your child finds it easier to do this with objects instead, that’s fine.

Phonics
Today we are looking at the a_e grapheme, found in words such as space and face.
English
Today is SPAG Thursday, and this week we are looking at question marks and full stops. Can you identify which sentences need question marks? These last two sentences might be helpful for you.
RE
Continuing our work from last term when we looked at the parables of Jesus, we are moving on to looking at the stories about Jesus himself. We are starting with the story of Jesus calming the storm.
Was you have read through it, you could either retell the story to a grownup, or draw a picture.

Phonics
Who stole Mr McGregor’s carrots? A thrilling mystery game that somehow involves phonics to eliminate suspects and bring the villain to justice. (You might think I’m being a little harsh on Peter and co, but I’m allergic to rabbits!)
English
