Another super week of learning in the Golden Treasures class! We have settled into all of our routines really well now!
Important information: learning stories are being sent home with your child today. Please take the time to look at our plans for the term and your child’s targets. Please send purple folders back to school for Friday 18th. (Due to a lack of folders, the contents of the P3 learning stories are being sent home in poly-pockets. Please keep this copy at home, we have taken a photocopy for school which will be filed once the folders arrive).
Here’s what we’ve been learning this week.
Literacy
- P2s and P3s- continuing to revise our tricky words from Block 1 and 2- reading and spelling
- P2s- revising ay/ai sounds
- P3s- spelling words with initial consonant blends such as str and scr
- Everyone has received their first reading book. Thanks for having these in school each day- this is really helpful. We have been reading aloud and having discussions in our groups
- Reading- making predictions about our own reading books. Making predictions about our new class story Operation Night Monster by either drawing, writing or a combination of both
- Writing- practising our cursive letter formation. We practise cursive writing throughout the school. At the moment we are continuing to work on our letter formation and are not joining our letters yet.
Ideas for home learning
- Choosing one of the spelling activities below to help with the tricky words or to practise your sounds
- Reading aloud to your child as much as you can and getting them to read to you if they can
