This week we have learnt the digraphs ur and oi in letters and sounds and have been revising the tricky words learnt so far. We have also been modelling story telling on the carpet using small world characters to help us and we wrote a shared story which modelled capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. The children helped to robot talk the words as we wrote them down. The children have then been story scribing and using small world characters to help them write their own stories. This has helped the children to think up their stories and to choose the characters they might include. These have been pinned up on their notice board displays.
In Maths this week we have been weighing animals with balance scales and comparing them against each other as well as weighing animals with cubes. They have learnt how to use balance scales accurately to measure.
In Power of reading we have continued with our new story, ‘Augustus and his smile’ and we have read a few pages and found out that Augustus has lost his smile and has gone to look for it. The children thought about where he might go to look for his smile and also filled in a chart about what they know about tigers ad what they would like to find out. We will research this next week.
In twiggle time we have been learning that there are similarities and differences between everyone and we can celebrate this so everyone can feel OK to be themselves. We learnt that there are some ways that people can be the same as each other and there are some ways that people can be different to each other. We looked at toys and sorted them into hoops for toys that girls might like more, toys that boys might like more and toys that they both like. We realised that it doesn’t matter if you are a girl or a boy and found that lots of us had different favourite toys. We also played a circle game swapping places with someone who liked the same things as them.
We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day tomorrow and seeing the costumes as well as sharing the children's favourite books.
