We enjoyed learning to play the four strings on the ukulele today . . .

This Week

This week we have written our own ‘Gingerbread man’ based story in our special write. All of the children wrote fantastic stories and Miss Dix and I were very impressed by their writing. In Maths this week we have been using number lines to add on. We have also been challenging ourselves to add on two digit numbers on a number line. We have learnt how to add the tens first and then the units. In Science we are currently carrying out a Science experiment to see what cress needs to grow. In SEAL this week the children made their own worry dolls with Mrs Davies and shared their worries.

Phonics

This week we have learnt the alternative spellings for ‘ur’ and ‘or’ . Next week we will continue to look at alternative spellings. We will be focussing on ‘oo’ and ‘ai’, ‘ay’ and ‘a-e’.

Home learning

For home learning this week I would like the children to write at least one sentence about their favourite plant or flower. We went on a plant hunt last week and saw Daffodils, Primroses and Daisies. Ask your child to explain why they have chosen their flower or plant. The children can then draw a picture of their favourite plant or flower.  For an extra challenge research other plants or flowers and write about them.

Support tips:

• Talk to your child about their favourite plant and flower.
• Discuss what might be a good reason for choosing a favourite flower e.g. I like Daffodils because they are bright and yellow.
• Use your phonics book to help your child find the correct grapheme.

Lunchtime drinks

Drinks are available for the children to buy at lunchtime. Orange juice and apple juice are 25p. Chocolate, strawberry and banana milk are available for 35p. Please note children can pay weekly or daily for these drinks at the school kitchen.

Many thanks
