This Week

In Literacy this week we have continued our learning on instructions. We wrote our own instructions for how to brush your teeth and had an excellent demonstration from Seb. In Maths we have been focussing on number and place value. We have been counting in 10s and 5s and using pictures to help us. In Design and Technology we started creating our own houses and in SEAL we have been practising working together as a team.

Phonics

This week in Phonics we have learnt the ‘ur’, ‘ow’ and ‘oi’ phonemes. If you have any free time please practise words with these phonemes in with your child. You can find suggestions of words to use in your child’s Phonics Book.

Homework

This week’s homework is a place value Maths activity. The children either need to complete the one more and one less worksheet or the abacus worksheet which involves tens and units. For an extra challenge why not draw your own representations of two digit numbers using tens and units. For example, you might draw the number 22 as two big circles for the tens and then two small triangles for the units.

Support tips:

• Use a number line or a 100 square to help your child find the number and the numbers that are one more and one less. If you type 100 square into a search engine you should find ‘splat square’ which is an interactive 100 square that you can use to support Maths activities.
• Discuss two digit numbers with your child. Encourage them to think about the then 1^st digit as the tens number and the 2^nd digit as the units.

Harvest Festival

Our joint Harvest Festival takes place on Tuesday at 9:30am at St Michael’s church. We will be walking the children down and back to the church. We ask the children to bring in a contribution to our donation to the local foodbank. Suitable items include tins of fruits, vegetables, soups, packets of rice, pasta and biscuits. Thanks in advance for you donations. Looking forward to seeing you at the celebration.

Many thanks
