The children really enjoyed the local area walks this week. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came with us to help.

In the Discovery Zone the children have been inspired this week by our local area and have been drawing maps and making road ways with the bricks.

Library

We kindly ask that library books are brought back each week so that other children can have the opportunity to enjoy them and to give your child the chance to choose some more to bring home to share.

Our library days are:

Tuesday: Mrs Bramley

Wednesday: Mrs Boscher

Thursday: Miss Horsepool

 

Home Learning Challenge

To link in with our local area work, if you would like to, please could you and your child draw/make (eg. with Lego bricks) a map of their journey to school. Ask the children to think about the different things that they go past or see eg. shops, businesses, parish halls, traffic lights, zebra crossings etc. and add then on to your map. Please send the maps (or a photo) in so that children can share them with the class.

 

Numeracy

In Numeracy next week we will be doing some work on tens and units. Children will be thinking about making teens numbers with Numicon, ordering numbers and partitioning larger numbers into tens and units. We will also be continuing to work on the Rainbow Targets and will start testing them in class. We will send the sheets home so that you can see how your children are getting on. Please note that the children have 1 minute to do the 10 questions.

Literacy

In Literacy next week we will be continuing our work on ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen. As this is a Talk for Writing unit, we are doing lots of work on re-telling the story and learning it by heart using actions to help us. Here is a copy of the story map which we are using in class. Your child might like to tell you the story at home. Click here to see the author Michael Rosen performing to story with actions.
