This week we will be beginning a topic on ‘Healthy Me’. The children will be learning about different ways to stay healthy including exercising, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep and looking after our own mental health. The children will understand what it means to be healthy and how they can make healthy choices. Please talk about staying healthy at home and help your child to make healthy choices.
RMT will be performing their class assembly on Wednesday 21st May. All RMT parents are invited to attend. It will take place in the school hall at 8.55 am. We look forward to seeing you there.
Read Write Inc phonics will be cancelled in school next week due to support staff being needed for Year 6 SAT’s. The children will still have a phonics lesson each day and will be heard to read by a member of staff. There will be no online work set but your child will be bringing home a book that is at their phonic level. Please continue to read at home each night and sign the diary.
In this small step, children build on their understanding as they explore the change structure of subtraction by taking away. Children will have experience of taking away objects in everyday life and this is built on by focusing on taking away more than 1 object. The focus is on decreasing a quantity by a given amount, while continuing to work within 10 Encourage children to use real objects to see that the quantity of a group can be changed by taking some away. Children will remove the items and then count or subitise to see how many are left. The ‘first, then, now’ structure is an effective way to help build their understanding by creating mathematical stories in meaningful contexts, using ten frames, number tracks and their fingers.
Have a lovely week
