Happy Halloween.

This week we have been learning all about the letters c, k and ck. The boys and girls have been practising forming these letters correctly and we learned the action for the sounds too. We have been putting the letters we have learned together to read CVC words. We found this tricky but Miss McConnell says that the more we practise blending letters together, the easier it will become. We have been practising to read and write our tricky words too. We had lots of activities to choose from when doing our Literacy work, including snakes and ladders where if we landed on a square with a word on it, we had to read the word. We had a writing table where we practised writing letters and words. We also used our magnetic boards to make, read and write words.

In Maths we have been working hard with with addition within 20. We practised writing our numbers to 30 this week. We are getting better but sometimes we write our numbers round the wrong way. We are trying hard to remember that the 1 comes first when writing teen numbers.

Finally, we have had lots of Halloween fun. We have been reading scary Halloween stories and listening to Halloween songs. We made our very own scarecrows using paper plates and made lanterns. We had to cut very carefully and stop at the end of the line. Miss McConnell says we did a really good job. On Friday afternoon we had Halloween colouring activities, design a pumpkin and cutting out activities to choose from.

Have a lovely weekend and I will see you all on Monday.
