This week’s homework is practice makes perfect.

I can answers questions about a text.

Have a look at the text you have been given in your homework book. Read it carefully and then answer the questions on the sheet.

This homework is due on Wednesday 02 July 2014.

This week’s spellings are all words with the suffix able.

Words with the suffix able are often incorrectly spelt with the suffix ible. A key to distinguishing between these two endings is that dropping able usually leaves a generally recognisable word, eg agreeable; dropping ible usually leaves a stem word, eg possible.

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect.

Understanding what we read is essential and that is what we were thinking about in our English lesson today.  All of the children have a text in their homework books with some questions.  Read the text with your child and then look at the questions and see if they can find the answers in the text.  Sometimes the questions are multiple choice – they choose the correct answer; sometimes there is space for a written answer.

Please encourage your child to go back to the text and find the answers rather than just guess.

Homework is due to be handed in by Wednesday 02 July 2014.

Here are this week’s spellings.  There will be a spelling test on Friday 04 July 2014.

Farewell to Nothing

Today, we said farewell to Nothing by having a celebration of the time he has spent with us.  There were party games and food and a chance for the children to say a message to Nothing before he left to return to his family.

• ‘Hope you have a nice time with your family.’
• ‘Hope your family look after you.’
• ‘I hope you have enjoyed visiting our school.’
• ‘I’m sorry that you are leaving.’

The children have thoroughly enjoyed the Nothing project and have shown great understanding and learning.

• ‘I know we don’t pick things up and eat them.’
• ‘We need a healthy diet.’
• ‘There are things we need and things we want.’
• ‘Don’t talk to strangers.’
• ‘All medicines are drugs but not all drugs are medicines.’

Thanks for coming to visit us, Nothing.

Seaside sing-a-long

Year 1 have been getting in the mood for our upcoming seaside trip with a seaside-themed singing session.  A sailor went to sea, sea, sea is one of our favourites and Mia even taught us the clapping rhyme to go with the song – great partner work.

Are you a recycling hero?

To celebrate Recycling Week and Le Grand Depart, Leeds City Council is giving away a fantastic prize to one of Leeds’ recycling, reducing and reusing heroes.

Sharing a recycling ‘selfie’ could win tickets for two of the best seats in Leeds to watch Le Grand Depart, and inspire the rest of the city to recycle for Leeds, too. Just take a quick picture of any way you reduce, reuse and recycle to save waste from landfill and cash for our city’s services, then post it on facebook.com/leedswastedocs or tweet them to us at @LeedsWasteDocs.

It could be a photograph of your child recycling waste electrical equipment through our WEEE Bank or using the schools recycling bins… anything that keeps waste from going to landfill sites. Whether you’re doing this for the first time, or you’re a committed recycler – we want to see and share your efforts.

Closing date is early next week so get snapping and sharing.

Here are this week’s spellings.  There will be a spelling test on 27.06.14.

20 June 2014

This week’s spellings are all words with the suffix ful.

Ful means ‘full of’. Notice how when full is added on to the end it loses one of its ls. For example, wish and full becomes wishful.

20 June 2014

This weeks’ whole school homework is Talk Time and also involves completing the pupil health questionnaire sent home with your child.

I can share my views about health.

Emotional health and obesity are our two main health targets to further our healthy schools status and the questions are linked to these areas. They include:

• Are you happy at school?
• What do you enjoy most about playtimes and lunchtimes?

Please support your child to complete the health questionnaire in order to find out their views on some of our key health issues at school.  This should be returned to your class teacher by Wednesday 25 June.
