It’s great to be back! I had a lovely week with the children last week -I had really missed them!
This week is a themed week, ‘Staying Safe’. The children will be learning all about how we can stay safe in our home, near water, on the roads and around dogs. We have lots of visitors coming in to school and I am sure it will be a very exciting week.
Phonics
We are continuing to learn digraphs (two letters that make one sound). This week our new digraphs are oo, ar and or.
Reading
The children read their phonics book at least three times in the week with an adult. This book will be sent as an e-book at the end of the week. If you are having problems accessing your child’s book, please let me know. Most of the children are telling me they enjoy reading these at home.
Maths
This week we are learning to compare sets of objects and use the language more, fewer and equal. We are continuing to investigate numbers to 6.
We have a trainee teacher, Miss Brownbridge, with us this term. She will be teaching some activities and sessions.
A request
We really need some junk modelling materials for our technology area. These could include boxes, cereal packets, egg boxes and plastic containers.
