This week we have been learning lots of new sounds.
We have learned the sh sound.
Julian- The sh sound is green.
Lily- It is green because we don’t use the tip of our, or the back of our mouth.
We use the flat centre of the tongue to make this sound.
We have been learning to blend the sh sound in words with other familiar sounds.
Lucy- Ship has the ‘sh’ sound at the start.
Shakti- Shark has the ‘sh’ sound at the start.
Joshua- Push has the ‘sh’ sound at the end of the word.
We were singing the sh song to practise.

Khyla- Our thin pens wrote us a letter to say that they had quit!”
Szymon- They quit because they were sad that their friends had dried up. This happens when we do not put lids on the pens.
Adam—They also do not like it when we make them work so hard that they put a hole in the paper.
Sophie- We wrote the pens a letter to come back to us.
Courtney- I wanted the purple pen to come back because it is my favourite.
Lucy- I wanted the pink pen to come back so that I could draw pink love hearts.
Lily- I wanted the red pen to come back because I like colouring in red butterflies.
We really enjoyed our word boost story this week, The Smart Giant in Town by Julia Donaldson.

Our favourite subtraction activities are
Lucy- I enjoyed the subtraction colour by numbers, I had to answer the problems and colour in the flowers.
Adam- I liked the subtraction bingo game. I was the caller and called out a number up to 10 and my friends had to put a counter on the subtraction word problem.
Emilie-
I like the lego subtraction game. You start with 20 cubes and roll the dice, you move your counter and it lands on a space and tells you how many cubes to takes away.
Szymon- I liked the subtraction jigsaw. One side of the jigsaw had the subtraction sentence and the other side had the answer. We had to match all of them up.
We learned all about Fairtrade products this week and why they are important.
Liam- People who grow food in other countries do not always get paid enough.
Joshua- This means they do not have enough money for their own food and clothes.
Adam- The Fairtrade products make sure that people who grow the food and help make it get paid fairly and get paid enough for the work that they do.
Connor- We completed an activity where we had to sort the Fairtrade food and the non-Fairtrade food. We had to look for the Fairtrade logo.
Miss Boyes worked with us to make a bar graph of our favourite Fairtrade product. We had to choose from, chocolate buttons, orange juice, icecream and the bananas.
Khyla- The chocolate buttons were the most popular.
The Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream was the least popular but Miss Boyes favourite.
This week in topic we wrote our invitations for our Banquet which is on Friday the 8th Of March at 11am.
We look forward to seeing you!
