w.c. 10th February

Hello!

This week we are continuing our theme of witches and magic and we will be writing our own potions and spells!

In maths we are adding two groups together. we will be using lots of language related to addition, e.g. add, and, plus, more, how many, altogether, combine, total. When doing adding activities at home with your children, please encourage them to put the largest number first and count on the smaller number. Also all the children want to be chainers (not stringers)! This is where, for example when adding a group of 5 objects & a group of 3 objects, they recognise that they can count on from the first group without having to count all of the objects. I hope that makes sense! If it doesn't, please ask!

In phonics some children are continuing to revise all the phase 3 digraphs, some children will learn two more vowel digraphs, oa and oo, and some children will be revising the consonant digraphs th, ch, sh, ng. All children will continue to read and write captions and some will be writing sentences with capital letters and full stops. When you do any writing activities at home with your children, please would you encourage the correct letter formation we worked so hard on at the start of the year. Many thanks for your hard work and support.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
