THIS WEEK’S LEARNING:
SPRING TERM 1 TOPIC: Transport
LITERACY:
Book Focus: The Naughty Bus by Jan and Jerry Oke
The children have shown much enjoyment for creating their own adventures of the Naughty Bus so we will continue with this book for one more week, exploring the children’s ideas for more new adventures.
PHONICS: This week’s new digraphs: /sh/, /th/ and /ng/.
By the end of this week the children will begin working in smaller groups during Phonics lessons. This is to ensure that the children learn phonic skills at the pace at which they are making progress. We will continue to send daily Phonics reading homework. Please continue to practise skills for blending to decode the words sent home. Please do not return these sheets to school, they may be kept at home for further practice.
MATHS: This week we will continue to develop their understanding of the language related to addition and focus on skills for problem solving. [/dropshadowbox]

This week’s homework: Create your own vehicle
Can you draw your own idea for a vehicle that transports people from one place to another eg a flying car or a ship that moves on land? What special features will your vehicle have? eg wings/skates?. Ask your adult to help you label your design.
Key word lists: Please send in word lists when your child is ready to have these 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.
Books for home reading: Please ensure that your child’s reading books and yellow diary are in their bookbag. [/dropshadowbox]
