This Week
Money has been our focus in Maths this week. We have been learning the names of all of the coins, using coins to pay for items when shopping, and solving money number sentences. We have learnt about labels in English and wrote our own labels and captions for items in the classroom. In Art and Design we started to make our wolf masks and in Design and Technology we made our own trap doors and went on a hinge hunt.
Phonics
This week in Phonics we have learnt the ‘air’, ‘oi’, ‘ure’ and ‘ear’ 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.
St Piran Class Homework
In English this week we have been learning about labelling and captions. For homework this week I would like the children to draw an item and write their own label and caption for the item. For example they might draw a picture of their dog and explain that a dog is a type of animal. As an extra challenge see if you can include wow words in your caption and create your own labels and captions for other objects in your house.
Support tips:
- This week the children have learnt that a label tells you the name of an item and that the caption tells you more information about that item.
- Encourage your child to sound out the words that they want to write. Don’t worry if this means the word is spelt incorrectly.
- Encourage your child to read what they have written.
- Reinforce the importance of capital letters and full stops.
