This Week

This week in our English we have continued with learning to retell the story of ‘The three little pigs’. We went into the storytelling area and made our own freeze frames of key parts of the story. In our Maths we have been practising counting forwards and backwards in ones starting from any number up to 20. We have also been learning how to read and write numbers as words. In our PE we have started our Gymnastics and we shared our ‘All about me bags with Mrs Davis.

Phonics

This week in Phonics we have revisited ‘j’, ‘v’, ‘x’ and ‘w’. Next week we will be revisiting ‘y’, ‘z’ ‘qu’ and ‘ch’.

Wow Moments

In St Piran Class we continue to celebrate wow moments. These can be put on the whiteboard in the morning and they will be shared later that day and put into the children’s Learning Adventure Books.

Home Learning

This week in English we have been exploring the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ and in Science we have begun our learning on Materials. For home learning this week I would like the children to design their dream house. Their houses can be as creative as they like. Perhaps they would like a slide from their bedroom to the garden or a swimming pool in the roof. The children need to draw their dream house and then label it. For extra home learning this week why not make a model of your dream house from junk modelling or lego, or write sentences describing your dream house.

Support tips:

• Talk about what kind of things the children would like on their imaginative design.
• Please encourage your child to write at least one label on their own. If your child finds writing particularly challenging perhaps take it in turns to write the labels or ask for their help with the sounding out of words as you write. In the classroom if the children ask how to spell a word we encourage them to sound it out rather than writing it for them as much as possible.
• Remind your child to hold their pencil correctly when forming their letters.

Dates for your Diary and Reminders
