In phonics this week, the children will be returning to their phonics groups. They will be continuing the reading and writing activities specified to their levels of learning. Well done to all of the children that accessed their Reading Wise homework, over the weekend. If you could return your reading records to your class teacher on Wednesday, the children will be sent home their usual Read Write Inc reading resources, on Friday.
In maths this week, we are going to be learning how to add more. The children will be using ‘First, Then, Now’ stories to support their learning and understanding. At the start of the week, we will be working out how many we have at the end of our stories. As we progress through the week, the children will be learning ways to work out how many we had first and how many we added to get the final amount. We will be playing games and using concrete resources to support the learning and understanding of addition.
In the wider curriculum this week, we are continuing with our theme of ‘Healthy Me’. This week, we are going to be focusing on different types of healthy food groups and how we can also keep our minds healthy. The children will be taking part in some mindfulness activities and learning different strategies to use when feeling sad, cross, worried etc. They will also be learning breathing exercises, which they can use at home or out and about. To finish our ‘Healthy Me’ theme, the children will be taking part in the sponsored wheels day on Friday. They will be given a lap card which will be stamped each lap they finish. Good luck to all of the children and fingers crossed for a nice sunny day!
We hope you all have a fabulous week!
