Hello everyone,
MATHS AND NUMERACY
We have been working on a variety of skills including sequencing decade numbers, describing, and making equal groups, counting items, and saying alternate numbers forwards and backwards.
Through our play we have been experimenting with everyday items as units of measure to investigate and compare sizes and amounts.
In small groups we were comparing length and height using nonstandard units. We investigated mass and capacity using different sized beakers.
LITERACY
We are not going to introduce any more new sounds this term and are going to continue to practise reading and spelling words with the sounds we have been learning so far. We will also be revising the tricky words and will be learning some new ones too.
WRITING
We wrote about our dads and what makes them special to us.
HANDWRITING
We practised writing out our tricky words, thinking about the size of the letters and trying to keep our writing on the line.
THINGS TO DO AT HOME
Use the sounds/letters and tricky words that have previously been sent home to help practise your reading and word-building skills.
PE
We were developing our skills using a bat and a ball. We were controlling the ball with the bat, bouncing the ball with the bat, and trying to hit the ball when it was thrown towards the bat.
ELECTRICITY
We talked about the importance of electricity in our daily lives and also discussed the dangers associated with electricity. We helped to make a display for our classroom showing how electricity impacts our lives.
RSPCC – SPEAK OUT, STAY SAFE
We watched a special assembly which showed us the ways a child can be hurt by others and how a child can get help.
We discussed this as a class, identified safe adults we can talk to and learned the Childline phone number.
LOOSE PARTS
The next day for Loose Parts is TUESDAY 20 JUNE.
LEARNING THROUGH PLAY
Some examples of the different kinds of play taking place this week.
We hope that you all have a lovely weekend.
