Literacy

We haven’t been learning any new sounds this week as we are now finished learning our first set of sounds. We have been using our knowledge of these sounds to read and spell words. We have also been working on our letter formation, this is something you could practise at home too.

We are developing our writing skills. We know that sentences need a capital letter; a full stop and finger spaces between words – you will be very impressed at our Stay, Play and Write on Tuesday.

Numeracy

In number talks we have been finding as many different ways as possible to make the numbers 5, 6 and 7. We were using our fingers to show these amounts.

5 can be 5 and 0, 4 and 1 or 3 and 2.

How many ways can you find to show 6 and 7?

Our numeracy focus this week has been ordinal numbers – first, second third etc. and putting numbers into a sequence.

What numbers are missing in these sequences?

0, 1, ____, 3, ____, 5, 6 ____, 8, ____, _____

10, 9, ____, ____, ____, 5, 4, ____, ____, 1 ____

We have started to learn some Spanish. This week we learned how to say ‘hello’ in Spanish. We played a game whilst listening to this song. When the song was playing, we were walking around the classroom, when the music stopped we found someone to say ‘Hola’ to.

We were learning that plants are living things just like animals. We spoke about what plants need to survive. We were very excited to plant our own seeds and we have checked on them every day – making sure we water them. Can you remember what type of seeds they were?
