Phonics

We learned 2 new sounds this week.

Anna: the oa sound, you make it with a ‘o’ then a ‘a’.

Celine: goat had the oa sound in it.

Amelia: the ai sound, it is an ‘a’ then an ‘i’.

Shea: they are both black sounds because they are from the vowel house.

Logan: I was learning the ‘f’ sound this week.

Lucas: I was learning the ‘f’ sound too, the f is in the middle of the word elephant.

Carter: all the sounds in the vowel house are black.

Freya: we were trying to sort out the words in our jotters. We put the ai words on one page with the ai sound and the other page had oa sound words.

We used this game to work on spelling the ‘ai’ sound.

Maths

Jane: we were cleaning money because lots of people touch the money with their dirty hands. We used salt and vinegar to clean the coins and it went nice and shiny.

Scott: we put money into a boat and if you put lots of money on the boat it would sink.

Roma: we had to stick the coins in order. The order was 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p.

Anna: I liked colouring in the piggy bank for the credit union competition.

Shea: I liked in the tuff tray. You had to find money and put the coin into the right box.

Rojin: I liked making a money caterpillar.

We used this game on the netbooks this week:

Word Boost

Carter: The story was a train who was scared of the dark.

Pati: cosy is a boost word. This means you are warm not cold.

Freya: passenger is another boost word. Passenger is someone on a vehicle but the driver is not a passenger.

Anna: terrified is a boost scared. It means you a very, very, very scared.

Rojin: entrance is the last boost word.

Roma: it means like a door.

Here is the story here. Can you hear the boost words? What word did you hear lots of times?

Scott: He told us he had lots of 50p’s.
