What another wonderful week of learning and playing together! We are beginning to work so well together as a team and the children have been enjoying getting to learn and play with new children as well as reconnect with their friends from Reception.

 

In Word Study this week we explored the sounds ‘p, i and n’. Below are some of our jolly phonics songs and actions if the children want to keep practicing at home.

In Writers Workshop we have been looking at how to create exciting and unique characters. We used Story Maths to help us think of a new character for our books. Story Maths is where you  add one idea to another to create an amazing idea.
For example: I could add a dog in the first box. Then add a wizard to another box to make a ‘Wizard Dog’. Have a look at some of the clever creations the students came up with. We had things like ‘super pizza, dinosaur dogs and a spongebob sonic’.

In Maths this week we have continued learning all about number! We practiced using the correct formation to write the numbers ‘5, 6, 7, 8 and 9’. As well as practiced forwards and backwards counting, using number lines and writing the number that comes before and after single digit numbers. Have a look at us hard at work!

On Tuesday we celebrated Shrove Tuesday.

In Word Study this week we investigated and had a go at writing the sight word the. This is a very common sight word in the children’s readers and is a popular choice of word when beginning to write sentences. Have a look at the great writing we have been doing!
