For ‘g’ we say ’round her face, down her hair and give her a curl’

For ‘o’ we say – ‘all around the orange’

Maths

This week Class 1 have looked at the ‘fourness’ of 4.  The children explored how 3 and 1 more makes 4; and 1 and 3 more makes 4.  They explored and found objects with four, e.g. – a chair has 4 legs, a square has 4 sides.  They collected sets of 4 things and investigated different ways to make 4 using our numicon and unifix.  The children were then challenged to show what was 4 and what was not 4 and explain and prove it!

Maths

This week we have continued to explore the threeness of 3.  The children have compared 1,2 and 3.  Matched amounts to the correct numeral, used comparative language to compare e.g. – ‘bigger than’, and ‘biggest’, ‘smaller’ etc.    We have encouraged the children to use language – ‘two is bigger than one’, ‘three is the biggest’, ‘one is first’. ‘two is second’, ‘three is third’.

The children have found different ways to make 3 and prove it is three, they have used language such as ‘I know it is 3 because there are 2 on top and another one underneath, 2 and 1 is 3.’   We have explored how it doesn’t matter if we move the objects around there still will be 3.

Phonics

This week we have revised all the sounds covered so far – m a s d t and looked at i this week.

When we write ‘i’ we say down the insects body and a dot for his head.  Here is a revision sheet – i

The children have enjoyed finding the sounds hidden around the classroom and having a go at writing them.

We have played word time games – making CVC from the sounds covered so far e.g. sat, sit, sad, Sam, Sid, mad, mat, dad, did, dot, etc.
