We have learnt the sounds sh, th and ai/ay and ng this week in phonics. In maths we have been learning how to make tally and bar charts. We have collected data from each other about how old we are, what our favourite car colours are and we also compared the house point totals in a bar chart to find out the winning team. On the last week of this half term we will be doing a full sounds and Maths check with the children.
This week we have been focusing on air vehicles and have learnt about transport ‘then and now’. The children have enjoyed finding out how much air vehicles and technology has changed over the years.
We have been hearing the children read this week with our new phonetically decodable readers. There are some lovely new books and it's great to see the children use their blending skills to read words and sentences of the sounds they know. The children have also finished off their stories this week and we were so impressed with the children’s writing. They enjoyed choosing friends to help them act out their stories to the class afterwards.
Next week we are celebrating and learning about Chinese New Year and would like to immerse the children in another culture. We will be doing lots of cross curricular challenges for the children to complete and we will be teaching the children lots of new skills for DT through the craft activiities a well as food tasting Chinese food. At the end of the week they will be bringing home a folder with all their creations for you to see.
We would like to remind you we have asked the children to wear red clothes on Monday. (They do not have to wear any of their uniform.)
