St Piran Class Newsletter- 22nd May 2015
Homework
For your homework I would like you to complete the money worksheet. You have a collection of coins and a total at the end of the box. You need to count the coins that you have and then count on to calculate the coins needed to make the total in the box. As an extra challenge create and solve your own addition and subtraction money number sentences.
Support tips:
- Record the total of the coins already in the box after counting them.
- Use real coins to help your child see which coins they need to make the total.
Phonics
After half term we will be revisiting some of the phase 5 phonemes which we are not so confident with. In the first week back we will be looking at ‘aw’, ‘au’, and ‘ue’. Remember to use your phonics packs to help your child practise their phonics.
Swimming
After half term each class will be using the School swimming pool for swimming lessons. Our class will be going swimming on a Monday afternoon and on a Thursday morning. Each child will need to have a swimming costume and a towel in school with them on these days. Armbands will be provided.
SEAL
After half term our SEAL topic will be exploring change. Miss Dodson has asked that the children bring in a photograph of themselves as a baby or a younger age to discuss how they have changed. Please could all children bring in a photograph of themselves after half term. Photographs will be returned.
Outdoor learning opportunities
After half term St Piran and Penhaligon classes will be participating in weekly outdoor based lessons. These lessons will take place on the beach when the tide allows or in our environmental area. The children need to be prepared to be outside whatever the weather on a Wednesday morning.
