Another busy week of learning in class this week! Here is what we’ve been learning about:
Literacy
- Spelling: we used games and activities to help us to learn our sounds this week including drawing spelling words in a picture
- Team Jewel- working on the ng and ck end sounds
- Team Gold– continuing working on soft c, where the c makes an ‘s’ sound.
- Team Treasure- multi-syllable words
- Reading- continuing to explore poetry; acting out poems (Splish, Splash, Splosh and Going Through Old Photographs) using expression and actions to help bring the poems to life
- Handwriting– practising formation, focusing on the correct height of letters
- Grammar– looking at our use of adjectives
- Writing– using adjectives in our writing
At home ideas:
- Practise your spellings- choose an activity from the spelling grid or you could draw your words with outdoor chalk/make them from outdoor materials (sticks, stones etc)
- Using a book at home (or using the link below to the Highway Rat) to see how many pairs of rhyming words you can find

Numeracy/Maths
- Continuing to work on our number recognition of a range of different numbers (0-100, 0-1000 and beyond for some) and being able to say the number before and number after these numbers. Exploring vocabulary around this (for example, one less and one more)
- Working on being able to write a variety of numbers in the range 0-100, 0-1000 (and beyond for some)
- Number sequences- counting up and back from different starting points.
- Using our times tables in a problem solving context.
- Looking at problem solving with Bobbie Bear- we used the strategy “draw it out” to solve this problem.
- Continuing to look at the properties of 3-d shapes.
At home ideas:
- Look for 2-d and 3-d shapes around your home and in the local area. You could take photographs of the shapes you find.
- Have a go at some of the other combinations of clothes for Bobbie Bear, using the link below:

Other Areas
- Working on our EMERGENCY 999!– finding out about what counts as an Emergency and linking the topic to Technology by designing/making our own Emergency vehicles.
- French- consolidating our learning of 1-10.
- PE- practising for the Race for Life by working on our stamina.
- Outdoor learning- practising our Drama skills outdoors.
At home ideas:
- Go on some runs/walks and see if you can increase your speed and distance over the week (Race for Life on 20th March)
- Make your own emergency vehicle using recycled materials.
We’ll see you all on Monday- enjoy your weekend everyone!
