Please see the document attached to show you the dates that the children can bring in a non-perishable food item for the reverse advent calendar.

The children got a sticky label either in their yellow diary or on their jumper to let you know the date.

Sorry for the delay in getting this weeks homework up. Somehow I hadn’t posted it correctly.

For spelling this week we are focusing on the ‘aw’ phoneme. Below is this weeks word lists. If you have a whiteboard and magnetic letters at home you could hide the words from the children and encourage them to say the word, make the word, break the word, read the word and then write the word (five finger strategy).

For reading children have all been allocated a new book.

We have began to look at empty number lines and partitioning numbers to make calculations more manageable so children could try and demonstrate their understanding of this.

Please find a mixture of photos of some of our learning both in class and outdoors. The children should be able to tell you what we were doing 🙂

For our outdoor learning on Wednesday we worked together to create a den and we toasted marshmallows on the fire. The marshmallows were so delicious! We made sure we stood back away from the fire to keep us safe.

Hope everyone  has had a lovely weekend.

For spelling this week I would like you to focus on the word lists below with our new common words: blue, best, number and other and our new phoneme words with the phoneme ‘ue’.

For reading, children have all been allocated a new book. As we are doing The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark as a novel study in class, our comprehension activities will be linked to this and not our Bug Club book, but please ensure this is read at least a couple of times through the week.

Sapphires – Shaun the Sheep Too Many Jobs

Diamonds – Bug Boy Beetle Cookies

For numeracy we are continuing to focus on money.  Below are some suggestions of games that children could play to reinforce this at home.
