Important note: please can children come suitably dressed for the outdoors on Monday (5th). We will be using the outdoor loose parts equipment in the playground in the afternoon and are likely to get muddy and wet! Thank you!
Another super week in the Golden Treasures class. Here’s what we’ve been learning this week.
Literacy
- Spelling: Team Gold: revising oi/oy sound, for example, coin, join, foil, soil, joy, boy, toy, annoy
- Team Treasure: spelling words with a k/ck sound. We learnt that the rule is- words with a short vowel sound need a ck and those with a long vowel only needs a k. Examples: shock, block, black, attack, book, seek, meet, croak. We all enjoyed playing a popcorn game using our sounds.
- Reading- continuing to work on our fluency skills and choosing our favourite characters and why we like them.
- Reading- enjoying the story of James and the Giant Peach.
- Handwriting- continuing to practise our cursive letter formation. We have worked on forming an ‘a and A’ correctly this week.
- Writing- continuing to work on what makes a super sentence?
Ideas for home learning
- Spelling: can you make your own version of the popcorn game to play with your family?
- Choose a character from a book, TV show or film and talk about why you like them.
- Can you write a super sentence at home that starts with a capital and ends with a full stop? Can you add an awesome opener?
