TOPIC
This week we are continuing our topic of healthy lifestyles focusing on the importance of being active. We will be learning about different ways to keep active completing our topic with a sponsored event on Friday. We will also be learning about how to keep our minds healthy and finding out what mindfulness is and completing activities to support this. Can your child tell you what foods are healthy and unhealthy? Can your child practise riding a bike or scooter?
The children have worked hard this week in phonics. We have seen some brilliant writing and reading, proving how well the children are progressing. We have sent the children home with reading books that they have read in guided reading. Please continue to read every night at home as this gives your child the best support in helping them to move forward with their phonics. The continuous practise allows your child to reinforce the learning done at school by applying what they have learned to their reading. By re-reading the same text it allows your child to build both pace and fluency which will help them become a confident fluent reader. Please also remember to do your ‘Reading wise’ activities as extra phonic practise.

This week we will be learning to subtract using first, then, now stories. How much do we have first, how much are we subtracting and how many do we have now? We will be using tens frames and counters to understand what happens when we subtract an amount. We will be working out practical problems and learning how to read and complete subtraction number sentences. Using a group of toys ask your child how many there are, then take some away, how many have been taken away and how many are there now? Can your child complete some subtraction number sentences?
Friday the 19th May is wheels day so your child can bring in a bike, scooter or pram to take part in our sponsored event (see separate letter). NO electric wheeled toys please.
Library story sessions are starting next week after school. On the 16th May RMT are invited to attend and on the 23rd May RKM are welcome to attend.
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
