Miss Mudd was very proud us on Friday for showing respect during the remembrance assembly. We all sat in silence for two minutes to remember those who gave their lives for us in the war. We were wearing our poppies with pride!
In Literacy this week we have been working hard to read and write all of our common words. We even linked this to our PE lessons playing some fun games with our words.
We have also been practising our sentence writing. We have learnt how to use finger spaces and full stops. We have been using our phoneme fingers to sound out our CVC words and then apply our work on letter formation.
We have been learning different spelling rules which is very tricky. Some of our digraphs make the same sound which can be confusing so we have been learning which digraph to use in our words. Shy ‘i’ doesn’t like all of the attention so he likes to go in the middle of words to stay safe. Toughy ‘y’ is very brave so he often likes to go at the end of words. There are, of course, some cheeky words who do not follow our rules!
Not only have we been listening to feedback from Miss Mudd but this week we have started to give feedback to each other. In pairs, we gave each other a star and a wish to help improve our sentences. Miss Mudd was very impressed with how supportive we were and said our feedback was very helpful.
In Numeracy this week we were continuing to work on addition. Some of us even took on the role of teacher and were teaching each other new strategies.
We have had different stations to move around this week to practise our number bonds. We are getting much faster at our recall and we are all beginning to apply our knowledge to different sums.
We finally finished our Autumn hedgehogs so here is a picture of the finished product….
