This week we have been finding Fractions of amounts in our Maths. In our English we started creating our own versions of ‘We’re going on a bear hunt.’
Phonics
This term we will be continuing our Phase 5 in Phonics. This week we have been learning about the alternative pronunciations of ‘ar’, ‘air’ and ‘or’. Next week we will be learning ‘oo’, ‘ai’ and ‘ee’.
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 extra home learning draw/make/paint your own flowers or practise finding halves and quarters of amounts.
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.
- Encourage your child to use their Phonics to help them segment.
Dates for your Diary and Reminders
