Dear Parents,

This week we commence Lent. The students have been asked to come up with a Lenten promise that is achievable however, will require some effort. Please ask your child what their Lenten promise is and help them stay focused on their promise from now until Easter. In Maths, the students have been busy learning about doubles facts and growing number patterns. Please practice skip counting this week in twos, fives and tens. Starting at random numbers helps to consolidate this learning. E.g count in tens from 26. We are now very knowledgeable about different animals and confident to speak about their habitat, diet, life cycle and appearance. Please talk to your child as much as possible about an animal of their choice to help them communicate their ideas clearly in their writing. We will be wrapping up all of our units of work and assessing students understanding over the next few weeks. This makes attendance super important so that each child has the opportunity to share what they have learnt. We currently have 56% of the class attending 95-100% of the time. Hopefully sickness eases off so we can finish off the term with a bang!

Kind regards,

Holly Jarden
