In literacy this week we have been learning about the diagraph qu and using construction and role play to build The Snow Queen a palace, enjoyed cosy quilts and made a maze to hide Snow White and the dwarfs from the Wicked Queen.  The children are gaining more confidence at making simple sentences and breaking and blending more complex words in their reading books.  At the moment we are still experiencing difficulty gaining  online access to the reading books from this scheme. Thanks for your support with reading and helping your child to gain confidence and fluency. The tricky words to revise this week are they, was we, you

In maths, this week we have played a fun subtraction from 20 game using  2 ten frames and counters. The children have now investigated and explored using  Numicon to make take away calculations, coat hangers and pegs and rods.  The children have had great fun applying their problem solving skills using the theme Goldilocks and the three bears exploring measure and volume.

As this is Food Fortnight for health and wellbeing we will have being exploring the children’s understanding of healthy eating. This has led us to examine where bananas come from and carrots. We have also looked at Fair trade and farming bananas.

Thanks again for supporting your children with their homework tasks and next week I’m asking the children to prepare a short talk about their favourite toy. Explaining where they keep it, why it is special, maybe who gave it to them,where they keep it and who they like to share it with?
