Maths

This week Class 1 have been busy sorting 2d shapes using different criteria.

 

Maths

This week the children have looked at comparing heights.

We linked this in with our focus story – Jack and the Beanstalk and with the beans that the children have planted.

They also looked at how we can measure using non standard units.

This week we have concentrated on the sounds:

oi – spoil the boy

oy – toy for the boy

The children have continued to practise sounds from set 1 and 2.

You will have noticed as well as bringing home a school reading book the children have also brought home words that are linked to their group text.  These are for you to practise with your child and also give your child an opportunity to discuss the ditty or story they are doing in class.

Maths

This week we have concentrated on number bonds for 6 and 7.

The children have investigated different ways to make these numbers.

Children chose their own ways e.g. sharing beans into plant pots, using the numicon, putting double coloured beans in a pot and shaking it to see which side they landed on and then working out the part, part whole.

We have continued to revise all sounds taught.  The children are working hard at segmenting and blending and this is improving their confidence when reading.

This week we have focused on:

oo – poo at the zoo and oo – look at the book

ir- whirl and twirl and er – a better letter

ar – start the car

The children have verbally formed sentences using words with these sounds in and many have independently written their own sentences.
