MORE TRICKY WORDS TO
LEARN HOW TO SPELL
LICENSE - Where does English get
the license to use both its letters for
the sound (s) in one word?
OCCASIONALLY - Writers
occasionally tire of doubling so many
consonants and omit one, usually one
of the (l)s. Don’t you ever do it!
PLAYWRIGHT - Remember that a
play writer in Old English was called a
“play worker” and “wright” is from an
old form of “work” (wrought iron, etc.)
SPELLIN

There nee

PUBLICLY - Let me publicly declare
the rule (again): if the adverb comes
from an adjective ending on -al, you
include that ending in the adverb; if
not, as here, you don’t.
RHYME - Actually, “rime” was the
correct spelling until 1650. After
that, egg-heads began spelling it
like “rhythm.” Why? No rhyme nor
reason other than to make it look like
“rhythm.”

Friday 14th November 2014
We are pleased to announce that Mrs Dunn had a baby girl
on Wednesday 12th November, weighing 7lb 1oz
(name still to be decided).
Mum and baby are both doing well!
This week in Reception we have been
learning about Remembrance Day. The
children made poppies by cutting out a red
circle and a green triangle and sticking them together. In literacy we have been
practising segmenting ‘c-a-t’ and blending ‘cat’ words and have learnt the new
sounds ‘g’ and ‘o’. See if you can think of any words with those sounds
in. In numeracy we have been looking at ‘1 less’ than a given number.
Another super week packed full of learning – well done!
Year 1 have been learning
lots about sentence structure
this week. We have been writing lots of different sentences and
remembering our capital letter, finger spaces and full stops.
The children have also had a practise at sewing this week,
ready to start our superhero emblems shortly.
The Year 2 Tigers have had a lovely week
this week. We have a new magic post box
in the classroom where the children have
been sending letters to their favourite superheroes! We have
started designs for our own superhero outfits and started to learn to
sew this week! The children have learnt a super cool song to help
learning their doubles off by heart and we have begun our learning
on subtraction. Have a wonderful weekend my little superheroes!

PHILAE LANDER MAKES
HISTORIC TOUCHDOWN ON COMET
Rosetta satelite’s mission safe landing gives scientists their first chance to ride a
comet and study close up what happens as it gets closer to the sun.
The signal broke a seven-hour wait of agonising
intensity and sparked scenes of jubilation at the
European Space Agency’s mission control in
Darmstadt. The team in charge of the Rosetta
mission achieved what at times seemed an
impossible task by landing a robotic spacecraft on a
comet for the first time in history.
The £1bn ($1.58bn) Rosetta mission aims to unlock
the mysteries of comets, made from ancient material
that predates the birth of the solar system. In the
data Rosetta and Philae collect, researchers hope to
learn more of how the solar system formed and how
comets carried water and complex organics to the
planets, preparing the stage for life on Earth.
The moment the tension broke came shortly after
1600 GMT when the Philae called home. “We are
there. We are sitting on the surface. Philae is talking
to us,” said a jubilant Stephan Ulamec, Philae lander
manager at the DLR German space centre. “We are
on the comet.”
Space agencies have sent probes to comets before,
but not like this. In 1986, Nasa’s Ice mission flew
through the tail of Halley’s comet. In 2005, the
agency’s Deep Impact spacecraft fired a massive
copper block at comet Temple 1. But none before now
has landed.
Andrea Accomazzo, the Rosetta flight operations
director, added: “We cannot be happier than we are
now.”
The feat marks a profound success for the European
Space Agency (ESA), which launched the Rosetta
spacecraft more than 10 years ago from its Kourou
spaceport in French Guiana. Since blasting off in
March 2004, Rosetta and its lander Philae have
travelled more than 6bn kilometres to catch up with
the comet, which orbits the sun at speeds up to
135,000km/h.
But celebrations were tempered by the later discovery
that the probe’s two harpoons had not fired to fasten
the craft down in the ultra-low gravity. Scientists now
think the probe may have bounced after first coming
into contact with the surface. Ulamec said: “Maybe
today we didn’t just land once, we landed twice.”
“We are the first to do this, and that will stay forever,”
said Jean Jacques Dordain, director general of the
ESA.
The safe, if precarious, touchdown of the lander
gives scientists a unique chance to ride onboard a
comet and study from the surface what happens as
its activity ramps up as it gets closer to the sun. The
first images beamed back from the lander’s descent
revealed a dramatic landscape of pits and precipices,
craters and boulders. However, there have been gaps
in its radio link with the orbiting Rosetta mothership.
Matt Taylor, a Rosetta project scientist, who had
selected an extremely colourful shirt for the event,
revealed an impressive – and brave – tattoo of the
lander on the comet’s surface.
By Ian Sample and Stuart Clark in Darmstadt
Did you hear about the historic comet landing?
Do you think it is worth investing £1bn to ‘unlock the mysteries
of comets?’
What makes this such an amazing achievement in your opinion?
