This week our topic is
We will be learning what is special about superheroes. We will be reading a variety of books about superheroes and creating and describing our own superheroes. Ask your child about their favourite superhero. Can your child draw a picture of their own superhero and write or label its special powers?
This week the children will be moving to their new phonics groups. The children will be either recapping sounds or moving on to new sounds and books, Continue to practise the letter sounds daily before your child reads and encourage them to use the SF, FT, RTW strategies to work out unfamiliar words. The online book should be read quite fluently without the need to work out every word as they will have read this book several times in school. We have attached some links to home learning videos for your child to watch at home.

This week in Maths we will be learning more about numbers to 20. We are focusing on how to order numbers to 20 and identifying missing numbers up to 20. We are looking at different representations of the amounts using numerals, numicon, cubes and tens frames. We will be making amounts up to 20 using tens frames recognising that we need one full tens frame and then so many on the next tens frame. We will be playing bingo with numerals and representations of numbers to 20. Can your child collect objects to make different amounts to 20? Can they match numbers to the correct group of objects? Can they order numbers to 20 and work out where a number is missing?
Next week we will be completing our topic on Superheroes by having a dress up day. We are not expecting parents to buy super hero costumes. We would like the children to think of the type of superhero they would like to be and come dressed according to this quality e.g. they may dress in sparkles and what to spread happiness, or be cheerful and come dressed in yellow. Obviously children can come in dressed in a superhero costume that they already have but we do not want to cause you any extra expense. A letter will come out explaining all about the day.
Please remember to contribute to our 50p fund each week if you can. This helps us purchase different resources to help enhance the curriculum and make it more exciting for your child so is very much appreciated.
Have a great week
