Learning Highlights
Literacy
- One of our rainbow learning activities this week has been writing a letter to our naughty elf – Snowflake.
- We have been listening carefully to the difference between the b and d sounds.
- We have been finding the ‘g’ and ‘u’ sounds tricky and we have extending our knowledge of these by spelling and reading words with these sounds in them.
- During our reading activities, we have been developing our higher ordering thinking skills and answering tricky questions about our book.
- Our reading aloud was excellent this week and we had a discussion about what different strategies we could use if we find it tricky to read a word.
Numeracy
- We have been using the rekenreks to show different amounts during number talks. This has been helping us with our mental addition.
- One of our rainbow learning activities was an addition smart board game. We have been trying to put a number in our head and count on. Link for this game is below.
- We enjoyed playing some fairy tale games which helped us to count on when we rolled a number on the dice. We would try to guess what number we might land on by counting on.
