We have had another exciting week as it was World Book Day on Thursday. We read so many stories! The children loved dressing up and had a fabulous day!
We had a busy week learning how to solve problems in our maths lessons and we have been counting in twos, tens and fives. We compared and found the difference between values.
We have completed 'Phase five' phonics and the children are now learning to read 'alien' words.
For geography we explored the features of farms and discovered what buildings and fields are used for. The children have remembered the different types of farms. I am hoping to take the children on a trip to a farm when the weather is warmer.
Next Week
English
This week we wrote a letter to Grandfather Postmouse. He was feeling lonely so we suggested ideas to cheer him up. Next week we will be writing to another creature from the book, followed by a letter to a friend in Year One. These letters will be posted, so expect a special delivery!
We will continue with daily phonics sessions and handwriting three times a week. The spellings for next week are as follows:
Hippos

she
me
Rhinos

tube

Maths
Next week we will be learning how to compare values and find differences in the context of statistics. We will be counting up to 200 and revising odd and even numbers.
Science
Could the children bring plastic bottles in again as we will be making rain gauges as we record and discuss the weather. We are looking at the changes from Winter to Spring. I would also like volunteers for a walk in the woods on Tuesday 17th March at 9am. This will take about an hour. The objective is to notice the changes from Winter to Spring. The children will also be looking for specific changes.
Geography
The children will be making keys for maps of farms adding the buildings that are necessary.
PHSE
Jack the Jigsaw will be passed around the circle and each child will remind us of one of the things we can do to keep healthy.
RE
This week we will be looking at prayer from other religions. The children will see artefacts used by different religions and we will reflect on the purpose of prayer.
I wish you all a happy and restful weekend.
