I’m sorry but I have had some sad news and won’t be at school Monday or Tuesday. Please work hard for your relief teacher and make him or her welcome.
Here are outlines for the two days’ work:
MONDAY: 9-11
NEWS GROUPS (Students will show you how this works); Mental Maths (Mon Week 25); Whole class maths – Symmetry Booklet (on desk near window) continue. Students have only done 3 pages which they will show you. Spelling Contract – continue with activities IF all look, covers done. Fitness.
RECESS TO LUNCH
INQUIRY – Please have a look around for students’ “Inquiry Cards Recording Booklets” for Myths, Magic and Mysteries. [I think they are either on table next to my desk at window or up on top of filing cabinet on left at the door) Work through these as you see fit. We have only done R1 and we will do C2 together when I am back as I have students’ draft writing books with descriptions of creatures in them.
1/2 hour Magic Groups practise their magic tricks for their celebration/show on Thursday. Please could you time each group to give me an idea of how long they will take.
LUNCH DUTY 1 then in d.o.t.t. after lunch (Music and Sport) could you please photocopy Maths Module CAPACITY booklets and MONEY booklets for me? Class set of 24 – and ask Rosalie Tomlinson for a copy or ask Karen Webb as the file is outside her classroom. Thanks.
TUESDAY 9-11
[Liz takes Tom out to Minilit from 9-10] 9-10 you will rotate two Maths Groups through teacher maths and the other group will do Mental Maths (Tuesday week 25 – 10 mins only) and Spelling contract work.
