Hello everyone, I hope today is the start of an exciting, action packed week on the lead up to Christmas. Last week we continued to wrap up our work on COP26 and How big is a million. The children have been busy recycling and reusing and have become very conscientious about taking care of the planet. It’s great to hear their enthusiasm for reducing climate change in any little way they can. In addition we have been looking at the season Autumn and this week will study Winter and the impact these seasons have on our way of life and that of animals and wildlife around us.

Language

Nemo’s group

Key words for this week are:

blue, best, number, other

The digraph sound that we are working on this week is ue like blue.

Dory’s group

Key words this week:

go, got, get

The initial sound will be g.

If you can please play with these words throwing a ball, making them with buttons, drawing them or anyway you like. Try to spot the words and sounds in your own books or anywhere around you.

Maths

We will continue to look at number patterns, sequences and counting. We will also look at estimation.

if you get the opportunity can you use coins to practise the number bonds to 10.  The children in class use a plastic cup with 10 double sided counters to do this. if you put coins in the cup and tip them out count how many land heads up say 6 and the ones that land tails up say 4 then that would be:

6 + 4 = 10

I will add some more activities to education city your child  to try.

Have a good week.

Mrs Carey
