In Phonics this week we have spent time recapping the phase 5 split digraphs e-e and a-e and the digraphs ey and au. We have been working on reading these sounds within words by adding sound buttons and sound bars to the words before we read. We have also spent time writing words and captions to match pictures.
In Maths this week we have been looking at sharing numbers up to 20 into groups of 2, 3, 4 and 5. We have had used different worded problems that the children have solved practically with cubes and whiteboards. We then introduced pictorial examples to the classes.
In Drawing club we have been reading a new text ‘Tiddler’ by Julia Donaldson. On the first day we described the under the sea classroom using our skills of suitable adjectives. On our adventure days we thought about ways of rescuing Tiddler from the net and how he could hide from a lurking shark.
In History we have been exploring transport in the past and present. The children have enjoyed observing and noticing changes through time for different methods of transport. It was so lovely to hear some of the children had been asking their family at home about transport they used when they were children.
