Today we had a visit from some Tae-Kwon-Do experts who showed us how to stretch, punch and kick. We had a great time learning and taking part. 
We were counting up in tens and adding on the unit numbers today to find the total. Then we played a game on the computer to help us with our counting in tens.
Literacy
This week’s sound is ‘igh’. Practise reading the list of ‘igh’ words out loud every night from your sheet and time yourself. Can you get faster each night? Record your best time each night and stick the sheet in your jotter.
Can you write a silly story using as many of the words as you can?
Reading
We will be continuing to work on understanding a text and whether statements are true or false. Talk to your child about the events in their reading books and give them some statements. Which are true or false? Read a favourite bedtime story. Give some statements which are true/false. Can your child identify the correct one? They may wish to record their answers by writing them down.
Spelling
This week’s spelling words are;
will, that, this.
Use the 5 rules of spelling (Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check) and write a sentence using each word. Remember a capital and full stop.
Maths
We will be working on counting things up to 50 by putting them into bundles of 10 and adding on the units to find the total eg 2 lots of 10 and 7 is 27
4 lots of 10 and 3 is 43.
Use real objects around the house eg pasta, sweets etc and count out different numbers putting them in bundles of 10. Record your answers as drawings and write the number beside it.
We will also be learning the names of 3-D shapes (cube, cuboid, pyramid, cone, cylinder and sphere). Go on a shape hunt around your house. Can you find objects that are each shape? Complete the worksheet and stick it in your jotter.
Today we were learning about 3-D shapes. We sorted the solid shapes and used them to print with to find out what shapes each one is made up of.
In drama today we were being fireworks. We added sound effects with instruments and our voices.
We used toy flowers to help us find our number facts for 10 today.
We had fun learning in the Learning Zone today. We printed the 2-D shapes that make up the cube, cylinder, cuboid and pyramid and made pumpkin soup in the haunted house. Some of us wrote letters to post to Percy in his hut.
