Big Learning this week…

Phonics

We are learning to read, match and identify ‘c’ and ‘k’ this week.

We are learning to blend sounds together to make words.

During story time can you find any ‘c’/’k’ sounds? Where are they – the beginning, middle or end of a word? Can you read any words that have ‘c/k’ in them?

Practise reading these words.

Writing

We are learning to tell a story using a story map, actions and pictures.

We are learning a new story over the next few weeks called ‘The Enormous Pumpkin’ and we have started making the biggest pumpkin you have ever seen!

Reading book skills

We are learning to read and find common words and we are leaning to use the initial sound clue to read words as we point to them.

Keep practising the words and sounds in your yellow books. These word lists really help children develop fluency when reading and build confidence to tackle new text.

Numeracy

We have just started looking at addition but will continue this over the next few weeks.

We have continued to work on counting on and back and adding on 1 more or 1 less.

Here are a couple of games to try if you wish.

Find a number/ count on or back – Helicopter Rescue

One more/ One less – Chopper Squad

Have fun learning at home and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. Many thanks for your help and support. 🙂

What a ‘spook’tacular start to the new term!

Welcome back everyone!

We are really looking forward to sharing our learning with you this term.

As the weather has been feeling very Autumnal can children please bring a jacket to school for outdoor play and learning.

PE in the hall will continue to be on a Monday after break time. Everyone is getting really good at changing quickly and are working hard at keeping their clothes in one pile :-).
