Good morning, I hope you enjoyed the sunshine this weekend and let’s hope there is more to come. We had a very busy week in P2/1 last week, measuring, taking on the role of being palaeontologists, and also running our busy cafe in the home corner. The children had lots of fun. I’ve listed below some things you can perhaps participate in with your child over the next week.

Language

Nemo – key words to focus on reading and writing are:

said could her before

plus, phoneme diagraphs  ck, ai, oy, oa, qu

Dory – key words for this week :

much of or

plus, phoneme diagraph ch

Games that you can engage in to support learning the words and phonemes are outlined below:

spot the word in your books

count the phonemes you see in your reading book or in your favourite stories.

Play eye spy

Go on a scavenger hunt to find things that begin with these phonemes

Write your words backwards

Make a pairs game for all your read and write words that you got home with your reading book

 

Maths

We are learning to count back to take away.

Count forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s

Number stories  find pairs that make 10 and 20 .

In addition, last week and this week, we will be continuing to work on measure. Perhaps you can get out into the garden and measure some things around the garden using stones or if you have a sandpit find out how much various containers hold. You might be surprised at what you find out. You can measure the sand with plastic cup keeping it the same size to create  comparisons between items.

Also look out for all our activities on Education City. Remember you can do activities more than once to reinforce your previous learning .

Please continue to read your reading books and read and write some of the words on your word list too.

Thanks for your continued support.

Have fun week.

Mrs Carey.
