Welcome to this weeks blog.
Firstly a picture from last weeks Halloween party. A great time had by all.
Writing
This week the children had to persuade someone that fireworks can be dangerous.The children came up with some very persuasive agruments including – you can get hurt, other people can be silly putting you in danger and pets can get very scared. Some examples below-
Phonics – “i” sound
This week we have been exploring the “i” sound. Having another vowel sound has enabled the children to blend more sounds to create 3 letter words. They have also been working on their letter formation. Some pictures below-
Numeracy
This week we have focused on the nubmer 10. The children have been using ten frames to support their learning. They are an amazing learning tool that support counting, place value, addition and subtration.
We have also been carrying out daily number talks. Number talks or dot patterns are an important tool to help children build a visual link to composing and decomposing small numbers. Dot patterns provide opportunities for children to work on counting, seeing numbers in a variety of ways, subitising and learning number combinations. An example of a 9 dot pattern detailing the children’s thinking below.
I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable Bonfire night. I will be back next week with more highlights.
