Chestnut Class

Hello, This week Tweet will be spending the weekend with Ben. Ben has shown great independent learning this week. Well done to Isabella who is Star of the Week. Isabella is always pleased for others achievements.  In maths we have been learning about multiplication. We used an array to help us. 3 x 3 = 9 *** *** *** In English we have been learning about non-chronological reports. First we wrote a plan which included dinosaur facts and then we wrote a non-chronological report about dinosaurs.  Home learning this week is to look at objects around your home and comment on the material it is made from.  Don't forget tomorrow is the Christmas Bazaar!  It is from11am-2pm. Remember to look for your Christmas decoration! Please practise the keywords at the back of your reading record. Practise reading and spelling the words.  Have a lovely weekend!

Have a go over the weekend counting different amounts of money with your grown ups.  During English we have been looking at non- fiction texts and we spoke about the features. Next week we will be writing a non-chronological report on two dinosaurs. Home learning this week is to research two of the following dinosaurs- Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, T-Rex or Stegosaurus.

Harry, Emily, Ben and Emily will be performing in it.  Miss Hoad has set us a challenge. If we get 19 or more comments on our blog we will earn 2 marbles!  T...
