This Week
This week we have started out new topic ‘Animal Allsorts’. Within this topic we will be learning all about animals and how to sort them into different criteria. In Maths this week our focus has been money. In Design and Technology the children began to investigate puppets in preparation for making their own animal puppet.
Phonics
This week we have revisited ‘ew’, ‘oe’ and ‘ph’. Next week we will be revisiting ‘wh’, ‘aw’ and ‘ue’. The Phonics Screening check will take place next week. The children will be asked to read 20 real words and 20 nonsense words with me in the meeting room.
Home Learning
Our home learning this week is a money activity. The children need to find ways of making 10p or find ways of making 50p. They then need to record the ways they found in their book. They can record this home learning by drawing the coins or by just writing the value of the coins. For an extra challenge why not try solving this problem. Rosie went into the sweet shop with 10p to spend.There were chews for 2p, mini eggs for 3p, Chocko bars for 5p and lollypops for 7p. What could she buy if she wanted to spend all her money?
Pet/animal photos
To show our love of animals we have started to make a collection of pet and animal photos on our display. If your child would like to add to our collection please bring in a photo or drawing and we will add it to our display. Please feel free to email photos of the children with their pets or with animals to the address below and I can print them.
Design and Technology
As part of their learning within Design and Technology this half term the children will be making their own animal puppets. To help the children practise their sewing Mrs Davis has asked if children could bring in an old sock for them to practise on. Please could socks be brought in by Thursday 23rd June.
Many thanks
