Last Wednesday, we celebrated European Languages Day. We spent the morning talking in French. We practised asking and answering questions such as; How are you? What is your name? Where do you live and how old are you? We then created our own comic strips to show two characters have a simple conversation in French. Have a look at some examples below! In the afternoon, we learned British Sign Language. We learned the alphabet and practised signing our own names as well as some key topic vocabulary.
Today was Times Table Rockstar day in school. We had lots of fun using the TT Rockstar app on the iPads to practice our times tables. We worked together to see how many coins we could earn. Please encourage your children to practice their times tables at home using Times Table Rockstar’s as often as possible. Good knowledge of times tables will support them in lots of areas of the Maths curriculum.
