Good Evening,
The children have worked so hard this week, well done everyone!
In English, the children
used adjectives to label a picture of a Superhero. They wrote letters to a
Superhero asking for help to defeat the baddies ‘Filth’ and ‘Vacuum’ from the story
‘Send for a Superhero.’ They also learnt about plurals and when a ‘s’ or ‘es’
should be used. In phonics the children have learnt the alternative
pronunciations for the graphemes ‘y’, ‘ow’, ‘g’ and ‘ph’. They have also learnt
the tricky words ‘who’, ‘whole’, ‘where’ and ‘two’.
In Maths, the children have
been learning about place value to 20. They have explored the numbers 14-20 using counters, dice, Numicon,
bead strings and multi-link cubes.
In today’s Computing lesson, the children used the Chrome Books
for the first time. They learnt about the different parts of a computer and
practised their mouse skills by dragging and dropping.
Next Week:
Maths- The children will continue
to explore and use a number line to 20, estimate, compare and order numbers.
English- The children will
learn about verbs, the suffixes ‘ed’ and ‘ing’ and they will use conjunctions
to extend sentences
Art- Observational drawings
History- The children will
find out about the structure of medieval castles.
PSHE- The children will
consider how they can work well with a partner. In pairs, the children will
have to design a pair of wellies.
RE- The children will think
about the special ways people welcome a new baby. This will lead onto them
finding out about Baptism.
Commuting- The children will continue to
develop their mouse skills by opening a program, clicking and dragging, and
creating a picture.

Note:
Phonics home learning
I have given the children a
Phonics home learning sheet that contains all the new sounds and tricky words that
they have learnt over the last 2 weeks. It contains the new phoneme, plus words
and sentences containing that phoneme that the children have read during the
week. Please practise reading these at home. Thank you!
We hope you have a lovely weekend
Mrs Flatley
