Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you all had a lovely break.
The children have been sharing their “Celebrations and Food” homework presentations. They have worked so hard on these and they have done so well! I will post some photos on the blog of them once everyone has had a chance to present in class. Thank you, parents and carers, for your support in this.
Last week we learned a new spelling rule for adding -ing. When the root word ends with 2 consonants you just add -ing
e.g fast– fasting, walk– walking, help– helping
This week the rule we are learning is this: when the root word has a ‘short’ vowel and only one consonant after it, you double the consonant and add -ing.
e.g put– putting,
run– running
split– splitting
Our spelling words this week are:
batting, sitting, running, humming, sunning, winning, betting, wedding, stunning, cramming, jetting, blotting, setting, rubbing, shutting, drumming, jamming, ramming, splitting, letting
Please practise them using 2 of the activities from the grid below.
Each child has been given an activity to practise copying a symmetrical image.
We have been creating beautiful and complex symmetrical images in class and really challenging ourselves.
