Hello Squirrels,
The classroom is now looking very Christmassy and the excitement levels have been taken to a whole new level. That said, there has been some super learning this week.
The Squirrels' writer if the week goes to Teddy! Congratulations Teddy and very well done on the super instructions that you wrote for Scaredy Squirrel.
In maths, Squirrels have enjoyed practising practical measuring in cm and m this week.
All Squirrels completed writing instructions for Scaredy Squirrel to help him escape the Ancient Oak Tree. I am particularly proud of the positive learning attitudes the children have applied when writing their instructions, showing endurance - not giving up; wisdom - applying instruction writing skills they have been learning and showing compassion for Scaredy Squirrel.
As you know, next week is the last week of the term and the last week of 2021 at school. I will be sending home updated spelling lists for you to practise over the holidays. May I suggest that rather than learning the spellings as lists, that the children start to practise using each spelling in a sentence now. When practising it is important that they are adding punctuation as they go. In class we call it 'Every Sentence Every Time' or ESET for short. Squirrels are very familiar with this term and it simply means that they MUST put a capital letter at the beginning of their sentence and a full stop at the end. They can also add more interesting punctuation such as ! ? and commas in a list, Year 3s may like to add speech marks too as a challenge.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend
Take care
Miss Swain and Daphne
