Literacy:
We have been reading 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.

We thought about what Jack would say as he escaped down the beanstalk from the giant. We used our phonic knowledge and tricky words to write a speech bubble!

Maths:We have matched numbers to numerals and found one more and one less than a given number..
Phonics HomeworkPlease find the weekly sheets for this half term in the files section at the bottom of this blog. Use the sheet however it works for you. Some people may want to print it out or just use the information to say the phoneme, write the grapheme and play games thinking about things that start with that sound. We are also looking carefully at forming our letters correctly in class. Please remind your child to say the rhyme for each letter to help them when they are writing at home.We are sending home a sheet with all the tricky words on to keep practising!Talk to your child about what makes each word tricky.
Show and TellCan children write sentences including the tricky wordslike have saidThey can read these to their friends during show and tell. Either send in on paper or a photograogh on Seesaw.Reading BooksAs we are now in the Summer term please can you try and spend a little time every night to listen to your child reading their reading book. This will really help them consolidate their phonic knowledge and practise recognising and reading tricky words. We change the reading books every Monday and Thursday.Library BooksLibrary books will be coming home tonight.Please return by Wednesday each week ready to be changed on Friday.
