We will be celebrating ‘Friendship Week’ all this week! We have lots of activities planned for this and will be spotting children throughout the week that are being kind to others and are being good friends.
Noticeboard
- Friday 17th November of this week it is Children in Need Day. You can wear something spotty. We ask that you bring in at least £1 as a donation for this very important cause.

Writing
This week we will continue our writing work based around our class text ‘Send for a Superhero’. Through this work we will:
-Explore how verbs change when we add the suffixes ‘ed’ and ‘ing’
-Discuss the rules for adding -s and -es to make a word plural.
As the superheroes that we wrote to last week were too busy to help we need to write the email from Brad 40 to the Mayor to ask for his help to stop the baddies. Unfortunately our Mayor also cannot provide the help we need so we will need to invent our own superheroes to stop Filth and Vacuum. We will label our characters and write a character description to describe our superheroes qualities e.g ‘I have a special cape that helps me to fly’.
Handwriting: Correct formation of the graphemes and CEW for spelling listed above through the use of our 4 formation families.
Maths
Mental maths/recall skills:
- Recall of addition facts within 10 (every day)
- Recognise numbers to 20
- Number Bonds to 10 – big focus
This week our main focus will be moving on to place value of the numbers 11 to 20. We will be looking at how these numbers are made of ‘ten and a bit’ and partitioning them into tens and ones.
We will be using the ‘base 10’ resources to make the numbers with physical resources.
Then we will move on to the abstract ‘line and dot’ method to partition the number into tens and ones.
