Lower Key Stage 2 Newsletter

We have had another fabulous week of learning in LKS2 this week. The children have made us all feel really proud with their superb performance in their Harvest Festival. I’m sure those of you, who were lucky enough to attend, will agree it was absolutely brilliant!!! Well done to everyone for putting in 100% effort into their singing and for giving a fantastic performance. We would like to congratulate our amazing achiever of the week Lewis Godwin. Lewis was chosen for his amazing attitude towards his learning and for setting a fantastic example to the rest of the key stage.

Home Learning

Every week, the home learning is for the children to practice their spellings ahead of our weekly test on Monday morning. We would also like the children to continue reading as often as possible at home. Please ensure you are noting in the children’s reading records when they are reading at home- if we can see they have read every day they will earn five house points for their team.

Literacy

In Literacy this week your children have had the chance to show off their fabulous learning by writing a full chronological report, all about the Victorians. The children have WOWED us with their amazing use of audience engaging features, detailed paragraphs and amazing compound and complex sentences. We will be photocopying these reports to send home with the children next week so you can see how amazing the standard of writing is in LKS2.

Numeracy

This week in numeracy we have been learning how to interpret data from a range of different sources such as pictograms, bar charts and tally charts. We have also been trying really hard to construct our own bar charts. The children have impressed us with their great attention to detail, and remembered to use all of the key features of a bar chart. Why don’t you make a tally chart at home and have a go at turning it into a bar chart? Can you write some questions about the data you’ve collected?

Next Week

Next week in 3/4 we will have the chance to show off our fabulous learning from over the half term. Your child will carry out both numeracy and reading assessment. This is nothing for your child to be worried about; it is just an opportunity to show off how much amazing progress they have made over the course of this half term.
