This week in…
English.
The children have been working on their grammar to improve independent writing.
Year 1 – have been joining words and clauses using ‘and’, putting sentences into the correct sequence and learning how to use a capital letter for the personal pronoun ‘I’.
Year 2 – have been recapping on expanded noun phrases, using the suffix ‘ly’ to change adjectives into adverbs and learning how to use subordinating conjunctions ‘when’, ‘if’, ‘that’ and ‘because’.
Maths.
We have continued to look at shapes but this week we moved onto 3D shapes from 2D.
Year 1 – have learned how to recognise and name common 3D shapes (cubes, cuboids, spheres, cylinders and cones).
Year 2 – have been naming 3D shapes in everyday objects, sorting the shapes into given groups e.g. shapes with/without curved faces and identifying 3D shape properties (edges, faces and vertices).
Phonics.
Year 1 – phase 3 ‘ure’ and ‘er’ phoneme and phase 5 ‘ay’ phoneme.
Year 2 – adding ‘ing’ and ‘ed’ to root words.
Science.
This week we were recognising and drawing food chains in a range of different habitats.
Nativity.
The children have enjoyed learning the songs for the Nativity this week, next week we will start rehearsals in the hall. Please could I remind parents to practise children’s lines a few minutes a night in preparation for our rehearsals. A costume letter will be given out at the beginning of next week.
