Oliver’s Vegetables

We arrived at school on Monday to find some vegetables in our classroom and a book and a letter from a boy called Oliver!

Oliver asked us to visit the school farm to harvest some vegetables to make vegetable soup.

We looked at various pieces of kitchen equipment, including chopping boards, peelers, knives and blenders. We used the equipment to prepare our vegetables for the soup.

After the soup was cooked, we all had a taste. There were some mixed opinions!

Phonics

This week, the children have learnt the phonemes – ay/ou/ie/ea.

English

In our English lessons, we learnt that a recount is a type of writing that retells something that has already happened. The children wrote some fantastic recounts of our soup day!

Maths

This week, we have been reading and writing the number names to 10. We also did lots of work on counting on from any number.

Art

The children enjoyed mixing primary and secondary colours to make a colour wheel.

Buzzing Bees!

Our scarecrow bees are ready for the Farsley Scarecrow Hunt this weekend.

  • Maps are available to download on the Scarecrow Hunt page 
  • You can also pick up a printed copy at Farsley Farmers Market on Saturday 26th September for a £1 cash donation to the local food bank

Homework

Purple homework books have been sent home today with a maths task to be completed by Tuesday 6th October. Please support your child to complete this task.

Children should be reading four times a week with an adult at home. Please write in your child’s reading record when they have read. We are looking forward to seeing lots of you next Wednesday at our Phonics and Reading meeting.

Your child has access to Mathletics, Fast Phonics and Purple Mash. The login details for these websites are in your child’s reading record. We have assigned some maths tasks on Mathletics for your child to complete this half term.

Have a great weekend.
