Friday 22nd March
This week we have continued to learn about 'People who help us'. We have continued learning about the features of non-fiction books such as the contents page, headings, labels, bold print and glossary.
We also thought about how the police help us, when our favourite swing went missing from our outdoor classroom!
We created posters to help find our missing swing and pinned them around the school.
Phonics
In phonics this week, we have learnt to read and write words with the long 'oo' sound (as in spoon), the short 'oo' sound (as in book) and the digraph 'ar'.
We have been introduced to the "tricky" words "we" and "are" - these are words we learn to recognise by sight.
It would really support your child to remember all the new digraphs that we are learning if you could play some of the games related to these sounds on your child's Bug Club account.
Thank you!
Maths
In maths, we have been developing our skill of sorting a variety of objects into different criteria. We asked the question "How are you sorting?" For example this could be by colour, size or shape.
We also investigated ways of sorting the Numberblocks e.g. odd and even.
Whiteley Reading Challenge
Well done to all the families who have completed the first part of the reading challenge. The children have loved getting their sticker and a round of applause from the class. We are noticing a real difference in the fluency and confidence of the children who are reading regularly.
If you have lost your challenge card, please put a note in your child's reading log or ask your child's class teacher and we will get you another one.
Thank you!
