This week our topic is Superheroes.
This week we have lots of exciting events happening. We will continue our topic of Superheroes and learn more about the qualities real life Superheroes have. We will learn about Florence Nightingale and why she is a hero. On Thursday we will be having our own Superhero dressing up day. Can your child say what qualities make a real life superhero?
On Friday we will be learning about the Coronation of King Charles.
This week the children have worked hard in their new phonics groups. The children are all reading books or ditties in their groups now. 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.

In maths this week we will be looking at objects and numbers and comparing which is more. We will learn how to compare and estimate amounts. Look at different containers around the house and compare which holds the most. We will also learn what Tangrams and how to make them. Can your child cut up different shapes and make a picture?
We will be completing our topic on Thursday by having a superhero 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.
On Friday we will be celebrating the King’s Coronation and you are welcome to come dressed up.
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
