St Piran Class newsletter Friday 23rd September

This Week

This week in English we have been learning about labels and captions. We went to the storytelling area and wrote our own labels and captions for things we could see on the building site. In Science we continued our learning on Materials. We discussed different materials we saw on the building site and what they were being used for.

Phonics

This week in Phonics we have revisited ‘z’, ‘y’, ‘qu’ and ‘ch’. Next week we will be revisiting ‘sh’, ‘th’ ‘ng’ and ‘ai’.

Hearing check

On Wednesday 28^th September members of St Piran Class will be having a hearing check. Please contact the office if you have any further questions or concerns about the hearing test.

Home Learning

This week in our Maths we have been continuing our learning on Place Value. For home learning this week I would the children to read the number and then complete one more and one less than the number. For extra home learning this weekend find one more and one less for two digit numbers.

Support tips:

• Draw a number line to remind children of the order of numbers from 1-10.
• Use objects (colouring pencils, counters, teddies) to make amounts to show children the number and the number that is one more and one less.
• Use a search engine to search for 100 splat square which is an interactive 100 square that we use in class, the children love using this. Numbers can be marked off in different colours which helps the children with the order of numbers.
