This week in phonics we have been revising our set 4 sounds.
Liam- We learned the difference between the tr sound and the ch sound.
Some children have been getting mixed up with these sounds.
We must remember that train starts with tr and not ch.
Emilie- ‘Tree’ starts with tr and not ch.
Szymon- ‘track’ starts with tr and not ch.
Connor – ‘trick’ starts with tr and not ch.
Lily- We had to sort pictures into the tr or ch box. We had to listen for the first sound in the word.
We have been learning all about syllables this week.
Joshua- A syllable is like a beat. We have been clapping out the syllables in words.
Julian- There are 2 syllables in apple.
Emilie- You can clap the syllables in a name. There are 2 syllables in Szymon’s name.
Adam- In writing this week we wrote a recount.
Emileigh-Rose- We wrote a recount for the story the Bird and the Cat.
Connor- We had to write what happened.
Courtney- The cat was asleep on the Chair.
Shakti- The little bird was in the birdbath.
Wojciech- The cat ran to catch the bird.
Lewis- The bird flew away into the tree.
Liam- We had to include where it happened. It happened in the garden.
Szymon- We wrote when it happened. It happened in the morning.
Isla- We had to make sure we wrote who was there.
The big cat and the little bird were in the Garden.
Numeracy-
Adam- We have been learning about fact families, we have to do 2 adding sums and 2 takeaway sums.
Joshua-The biggest number when you are adding goes at the end and when you are taking away it goes at the start.
Some of us have been finding this tricky and forgetting that we can only use the numbers in the triangle.
We have continued to learn how to find the missing number in addition and subtractions calculations.
Isla – If it was something + 3 = 7
You put the number that is not missing in your head and you can count on until you reach the total. However many you counted is the missing number.
7 – = 4
Joshua- To find the answer for this missing number sum you would start at 7 and take away the 4 to get 3. 3 is the missing number.
-4 = 5
Joanna- You work back the way, I started at 5 for this one and added the 4 to get to 9.
We have been enjoying counting in 2’s
Connor- We were learning about Constellations, since we learned about day and night we have been speaking about what we see in the sky at night.
Lily- The stars make different shapes and patterns in the sky.
Shakti- We drew different constellations on our paper and we learned their names.
Have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and P1B
