Good morning, I hope you enjoyed the lovely weather this weekend and looks like we are set to have a nice week.

Language

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

Dory – key words for this week :

this, that , then, with, us, so,  much,  of , or

plus, phoneme diagraph ng

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

This week we are beginning to develop awareness of how money is used and recognise a range of coins. We will set up a class shop and use money to pay for items and then work out how much change is needed.

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

Number stories  find pairs that make 10 and 20 .

During outdoor learning we will be continuing to work on measure.  We will be developing the concepts capacity and volume. If 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 can measure the sand with plastic cups 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 practise your read and write words from your word lists too.

Thanks for your continued support.

Have fun week.

Mrs Carey.
