LITERACY: Creating stories

The children have thoroughly enjoyed engaging their imagination to create amazing stories about the naughty bus so this week we will continue with their interest and develop their ideas for creating other stories, focusing on the use of story language (eg Once upon a time, a long time ago, suddenly, etc) and elements of story structure (beginning, middle, end, characters, setting, plot, etc)

MATHS: Review counting and number recognition skills and find one more and one less than a given number.

PHONICS: The children are now learning Phonics in smaller groups. This is to ensure that they learn phonic skills at the pace at which they are making progress.

Group Phonics Focus:

Miss Pillay and Miss Oldman’s group: blending cvc words, and securing instant recognition and formation of all Phase 2 sounds

Miss Dale’s group: blending cvc words and securing instant recognition of Phase 3 digraphs within a word.

Miss Thompson’s group: Review Phase 3 long vowel sounds: /ai/, /ee/, /igh/, /oa/ and /oo/ and securing instant recognition of these sounds within a word. [/dropshadowbox]

Robbie the Rat comes home

What if Robbie the Rat (our class puppet) came home with you? What adventures would he have? What would he do? What would he say? Draw a picture about his adventure and ask your adult to help you write a few words or sentences about it.

Key word lists:  Please leave word lists in the green box when your child is ready to have their word list checked. Please note that we will check each word list twice to ensure that your child can read these words skilfully before issuing the next list.

Keeping Ourselves Safe Week.

During this safety themed week we will be discussing the ways we can keep ourselves safe in different situations such as road safety, safety around strangers and safety in the home and at school. The children’s learning this week will be centred on these aspects of safety.

PHONICS: The children are now learning Phonics in smaller groups. This is to ensure that they learn phonic skills at the pace at which they are making progress.

Here are a few useful learning videos to help your child to practise their reading and spelling of tricky words as well as counting forwards and back within 10:
