What a busy week we have had again… The rain has not dampened our spirits and the children have continued to show enthusiasm for their learning.

In maths this week we have been learning about teen numbers and how to make them using tens and ones. We have been using all sort of tools to make and record what we have found out as well as making number sentences to demonstrate their understanding.

In English we have been continuing our look at old and new toys and have started to make our information leaflets, comparing the two. As a separate series of inputs we have been thinking about how adding ‘ed’ to ‘doing words’ (verbs) helps us to say what has happened in the past.

We have had a visit from a drama company who ran a workshop with the children that they very much enjoyed.

We are having a big focus on forming our numbers correctly . We hope you have found the sticker in the home school book to support us in this endeavour! In phonics we are looking at how using the sound buttons can help us to decode more tricky words, and reading ‘alien’ words.  More about this at the phonics parent workshop on Tuesday next week at 2.30.
