Today we learned all about the sound ‘wh’, practised our reading and common words and learned our spelling words. We also did mental maths by finding numbers that were 1 or 2 more/less than each other up to 100. Why not try some like this at home  to get quicker?

We also practised our basket ball skills by throwing, catching and bouncing the ball on the move. In the afternoon we learned all about ‘caring’ for each other and read the story of ‘The Good Samaritan’. We listened and watched as some more children got to present their work on ‘All About Me’ and then we went to the Learning Zone.

Today the children got their homework folder home with a letter explaining what to do each night. Each week there will be a post on the class blog saying what sounds, common words and spelling will be covered that week , as well as some ideas of what to do. REMEMBER to bring the homework folder to school every day with all the contents in them.

There is also a homework grid stuck into your child’s jotter with some other tasks to try. Try to do 1 a week and colour the box in as you complete each one.

Record any written work in the jotter provided and return to school each Monday to be marked.

Mondays and Thursdays are gym days. Every Thursday we will have a visiting P.E specialist who will take us for gym. Please provide a full gym kit of shorts, t-shirt and sandshoes in a gym bag which can stay in school for when it is needed. Remember to label all items as well as the bag with your child’s name.

We all enjoyed ourselves in the Learning  Zone today where we worked on our social skills of sharing, having quiet voices and good tidying up skills.

For literacy today we did our reading, learned about the ‘th’ sound, played some sound games and listened to stories on the i-pad.

For maths we made numbers up to 100 one or two more or less. We also tried counting up and down in twos to 20 without looking at the number square.

In the afternoon we learned about the Christian value of ‘love’ by reading and talking about the story of The Lost Sheep. We then planned out ideas to do in the Learning Zone and talked about what we did.

Today we used good miming skills in our drama lesson. We have also been practising the ‘ch’ and ‘th’ sound and some of us got to do a listening activity using the i-pads.

We were in the gym today learning different ways to travel as well as playing a circle game. In the afternoon we got to practise our numbers to 100 using the computers. 

In maths we have been finding numbers that come before and after each other. We have also been busy in the Learning Zone working on  sharing the toys, using quiet voices and tidying up well.
