Reading

Reading will be on Monday and Wednesday this week.  Please check the reading diaries.

Literacy

Please revise all sounds and words that have been taught so far.  We have been focussing on spelling the words too.  Please help your child with this.  You could read out a word and get them to spell it using magnetic letters, scrabble tiles or the mini whiteboard and pen that was sent home in the bookstart book bags.  Elephants please focus on: was, went, his, be, you.  Tigers please focus on: he, me, we, the, my.  Pandas please focus on: the, I, at, is, and.

New sounds/words will be issued on Tuesday. TUESDAY UPDATE: THE H SOUND IS  IN READING FOLDERS.  TIGERS AND PANDAS PLEASE STICK THEM INTO YOUR SOUND BOOK.  ELEPHANTS: YOUR SOUND WILL BE ISSUED TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY), IT’S A TRICKY ONE THIS WEEK AND WE NEED SOME EXTRA REVISION IN CLASS FIRST.

Numeracy

Circles – please free the whale using this website.  You need to find the pipe with the number on it to make a total of 10.  We have been trying this in class too.  We call these pairs of numbers that make 10 rainbow numbers.  You can also try playing a similar aliens game too.

Triangles – We are beginning to chat about number bonds/rainbow numbers.  These are pairs of numbers that go together to make different amounts.  Please play this game with your child to help emphasise this new area of learning.  As they put the teddies into the house please reiterate the language of addition e.g 1 teddy in that house and 4 teddies in that house makes ?  Can you find another way?
