Learning Highlights
Literacy
We have been continuing to work on distinguishing between the sh and ch sounds. We have been reading and spelling words with these sounds in them. This week, we have also been learning about syllables in words. We know this means how many claps in a word. By clapping out the syllables we have also spoke about how this could be a good spelling strategy to spell unfamiliar words.
Numeracy
We are finishing off our subtraction topic in numeracy. This week we have been learning how to use 10 frames to solve subtraction problems. We have also enjoyed playing subtraction bowling. Next week we will begin our numeracy and maths topic of money.

Amelie: I liked making a den under the table with Chloe and Riyah 😊
We’ve had fun playing on the dinosaur egg game and clapping out the sounds in our names this morning.
Amelie is looking forward to the money topic. She likes to save her pennies!
Subtraction bowling sounds fun, I’ll need to have a go!
I enjoyed listening to Anna and Reka reading when they brought the Golden Ticket this week – great job girls!
I like playing syllable clapping games, we sometimes do this in music too!
