Week Beginning 24.04.17

This week the story of the week is 'Burglar Bill' - we are having a break from traditional tales as the children seem to have grasped the language and the structure of these types of stories. We are asking the children what they would like to find out about and then we will look at non fiction books over the next few weeks so the children know what these books are used for and also so they can recognise the features of these books.

In maths we are revising one more and one less than numbers up to 20 - some of the children are still struggling with this concept. We will also be revising teen numbers. Over the next few weeks we will be working on areas that we picked up through the assessments last week to make sure that the children understand these concepts fully and can use them practically in their play.

The children will be doing PE outside this term so please make sure that they have a pair of plimsolls or trainers in their PE kit at school.

In phonics we will be revising what we have learnt so far so that the children are more secure in their phonics so that they are able to use these skills in their reading and writing.

Thank you to those parents who have sent back the questionnaire about transition - it is really helpful to know your thoughts.

Have a good week!

Week Beginning 17.04.17

The week we are carrying out maths assessments with the children to see what they have learnt over the year so far and what areas we need to work on for the last part of the year.

The children will be doing some sentence writing so that we can assess what they can do independently.

We will be learning some new tricky words and practising writing them so the children get used to spelling these words correctly when they are writing independently.

We will be practising writing numbers 1 - 20.

The children will be having a talk from a Road Safety person as a reminder about how to keep safe near roads.
