Kitchen Disco!

What an exciting week we have had! On Monday, some fruit were having a disco in our classrooms!

They left us a book to enjoy. We have also really enjoyed listening to this song. We even did the conga!

Throughout the week, the fruit enjoyed their stay in our classrooms and got up to lots of mischief overnight.

English

In our English lessons, the children chose a character from the story ‘Kitchen Disco’. They wrote some fantastic descriptive sentences about the characters. The children tried hard to include lots of adjectives in their writing.

Phonics

Our new phonemes this week are oy/ir/ue/aw. Click here to check the pronunciation.

Handwriting

The children have been taught how to form all the letters in the curly caterpillar family using the cursive font. Please keep practising at home. Remember that all cursive letters start on the line.

Maths

We have focused on finding one more and counting backwards this week. The children were very good at counting backwards! We also started our ‘Mastering Number ‘ sessions. This week we taught the children how to use a rekenrek.

Science

We have been looking at trees. We went on a walk around the school grounds and identified many different types of trees, including mountain ash, silver birch, alder, wild cherry, apple, willow and monkey puzzle. We examined the main parts of the tree and labelled them. We then labelled a diagram of a tree.

Art

We looked at the work of the artist, Paul Cézanne.

The children used their knowledge of colour mixing to create some fantastic pieces of artwork.

Homework

Spelling books have been sent home today. This homework is due in on Tuesday 13th October.

Please continue to read at least 4 times a week for 10 minutes with your child and write a note in their reading record that you have done so.

The login details for Fast Phonics, Mathletics and Purple Mash are in your child’s reading record. There are some assignments on Mathletics for your child to complete this half term.

Have a lovely weekend.
