Good Evening,

 

What a fun week we have had! It all started on Monday with 'Odd Socks Day.' We discussed the reason we were all wearing odd socks and what makes us special and unique. The children looked amazing in their spotty clothes today. Thank you for your kind donations towards Children in Need.

 

In phonics this week the children have learnt the split digraphs a_e, i_e, o_e and u_e. They have also learnt the tricky words ‘could, would, should’ and ‘our’. We finished our narrative unit which was based around the book ‘Farmer Duck’. The children worked hard this week writing a postcard recounting the events of the story.

 

Next Week:

Maths- The children will continue to learn about part-whole models, write number sentences and explore number addition number facts.

 

English- The children will begin their non-fiction topic which focuses on Labels, Lists and Captions.

 

Science- Identify animals that are Carnivores, Herbivores and Omnivores.

 

Art- We will be looking at the work of L.S Lowry.

 

D&T- The children will begin to make their own story slider mechanism. They will hear the story of 'The Gingerbread Man' and create a moving picture to show a part of the story.

Notes

 

Spelling test

I have previously written your child’s spelling group in their reading record; please come and see me if you are unsure which group they are in.

The result of today’s spelling test has been written in your child’s reading record. I can see the children have been working hard at home to learn their spellings. Thank you for your continued support.
