Good morning, Friday again after another busy week which unfortunately has been very wet so meant we had no outdoor learning this week, but instead had some dance and indoor gym fun. Next Thursday let’s hope the sun is shining and we get back outside. Please could children come dressed in their wow clothes that can be easily washed and also with a jacket in case it is a little wet. Thanks.

 

Now to some of  the things that we have been doing this week.

 

In literacy we are continuing to revise and learn our initial sounds and I hope you have had fun looking around your house for things beginning with p,i, and n. Keep looking if you are out and about please, or in your books. Watch out you could see them anywhere! We have been working hard using deciphering and decoding skills to learn new words by sounding out the letters and blending them together, the children may call this robot words. In class we have had fun being word detectives looking in books for the tricky words in our homework jotter. For homework this week I’ve asked the children to rainbow write the words an, is and. This requires the children to write each letter of each word in a different colour.

 

In maths this week we are continuing to investigate the odd numbers between 11 and 20 using Numicon, cubes and ten frames.In addition we have started to look at number patterns in the 100 square, count in 10s to 100 and 5s to 50.

 

For health and wellbeing, we have been looking at being active in school and had lots of opportunities this week to be very active in the gym on Monday, at Work out Wednesday and during outdoor learning on a Thursday. We are continuing use games and activities to establish good listening skills for learning and being responsible citizens.

 

Wishing you a lovely relaxing weekend and thank you for supporting your children with homework tasks.

Mrs Carey.
