Mrs Sarsfield's group

This week we are focusing on doubling and halving techniques, learning to double and halve with quick recall by partitioning first. We will move from 2 digit numbers to 3 and 4 digit numbers which are multiples of 10. We will be learning to ignore the 0 at the end, then add it back on to arrive at the final answer. We will also be reviewing decimals and time.

LITERACY

We will be learning all about PRONOUNS. The children will be learning how to replace the nouns with pronouns.

I	my	mine
you	your	yours
he	his	his
she	her	hers
it	its	its
we	our	ours
they	their	theirs

RE

We are continuing with our topic – listening and sharing. This week we will be thinking about the importance of listening. What did you miss when you weren’t listening? What is it like not to be listened to? We will also be looking at the liturgy of the word and looking at Gospel stories.
