Literacy
In phonics we have had a consolidation week. We have been revising all of the digraphs we have learnt and practised using them in our writing. Miss Mudd put up some pictures and we had to write interesting sentences using our sounds.
This week we were talking about different types of dreams. We looked at examples of dreams in our BFG book. Miss Mudd even made her own dream jar and told us all about her dream of being a superhero and saving the world with her sidekick Scrabble. We used our imagination to create our own dreams. We drew detailed pictures and discussed our ideas before we started to write. We worked with a writing partner to check each other’s work. Some of the children then went home and created their own dream jars. We loved looking at them in class. What a talented bunch! We made dream catchers out of paper plates and wool. The threading really helped us develop our fine motor skills.
We also created our own giants! We came up with some wonderful ideas then wrote descriptive sentences about our scary giants. We worked in partners to highlight the adjectives we had used and gave feedback to our partner about their work. We were very supportive and showed respect to each other.
Numeracy
This week we have been looking at the numbers 13, 14 and 15. We created number rainbows to show all of the number facts for that number. We also used our new whiteboards to write fact families for these numbers. We were linking our knowledge of addition and subtraction.
Other
A big well done to Jacob for coming second in his Taekwondo competition. Nico also brought in her swimming certificate to show us. She talked about the skills she had been working on and we are very proud of her for moving to the next level. The JRSO came to visit this week to talk to us about keeping safe when crossing the road. Thank you for looking after us!
Have a lovely weekend
