Dear Parents/ Carers

The children have had another excellent week at school. This week the children finished drawing their pictures of a daffodil. They have worked really hard to sketch the daffodil using fine lines and shading. We have also completed our science investigation and found that all plants need sunshine, heat and water to survive.

For their homework task this week, they will need to complete a maths worksheet about fractions of amounts. Also, please ensure your child is also reading at home 3 times a week, practicing their spellings, using Times Tables Rockstars to practice their times tables and preparing for their Big Write. Homework is due in on Friday 14th May by 4pm. Please email your completed homework to clumber@st-lukes.notts.sch.uk 

If you have any problems, please let me know.

Have a lovely weekend. 

Miss Earle

Reading

This week, all the children have been given a reading book to read at home on Monday and to be returned the following Monday. They will get a new book to take home that day. All children should be reading at least 3 times a week. 

To record when your child has read, please complete Clumber Class's reading log. This will be checked on a Monday and a message will be sent home congratulating the children who have read at least 3 times.

Please let me know if you have any problems.

Big Write

For our Big Write next week, we will  be writing a fantasy story based on a picture. The picture is of a dragon and a girl. You will need to think about these questions:

• Where are the girl and the dragon? What can they see from this place? What are they looking at?
• Why are they here?
• Are they friends? Does the girl own the dragon as a pet? Or does the dragon own the girl as its pet?
• What species of dragon do you think it is? Is it friendly?
• Does anyone else know that they’re up here? What might other people say about their friendship?
