Week Beginning Monday 30th September


Literacy - phonics

 

This week we will be working on the sound ee  - what can you see?

How many more words can you think of with this sound?
 
Rather than wasting paper to send home the phonics sheet with words to practice reading/spelling, I have uploaded the sheet here.



 Reading

If your child brought his/her reading tree books (oxford reading tree) back today then they will have 2 more new books.  We have started reading “Read Write Inc” books in school this week however, this week they do not have words to practice at home or a RWI book to read at home.

 


Maths

This week we will be revising doubles to at least 5+5. (Some children will do doubles up to 10+10)

We will also revise counting forwards to 20 - please practice on a daily basis if your child cannot count to at least 20   count to 20 song    count to 20 with number words

And now we will be begin to count back from 20 to 1  count back song

We will work on saying 1 more (or 2 more) than any given number to 20 (and beyond)

There will be a new game on saying 1 more or 1 less on the active learn site

Try this pairs game too for learning doubles. There are numerous other simple counting and maths games on the same site which you can try too.
Try singing this song too or the harder doubles to 20 version


Topic - this week and the next few weeks we will learn about the 5 senses. I use my eyes to see etc.





Library books, reading books and reading record (the little yellow book) 

Don't forget to return your library books,in the big transparent folder on Thursday, not Friday, to change it for a new one.

The reading books (which get changed on a Monday) do not need to be brought to school on a daily basis. I will put a tick on the list of the books (in the yellow reading record book) that your child has returned and will put the date by the next 2 books he/she takes. 
Once they have the "Read Write Inc books" the same process will apply. 

The reading record contains a list of books so I know which books each child has read.
If you wish to write the names of the books that your child has read, and a comment about how he/she read it, then you may, but it is optional.  Some parents have also written down the names of the e-books that their children have read online, with a comment. Again this is optional.
 


Homework

On Friday your child brought home a sheet to practice handwriting.  Handwriting is boring but it is important. It is useful if you sit with your child while he/she is doing it to make sure they are forming their letters correctly. If your child finds it difficult then they may need extra practice. Five minutes per day over several days is better than doing it for a long time. Try also writing letters in the sand next time you go to the beach.

Your child should put any competed homework in the orange/brown tray next to the reading folder box. They will be given a sticker if they complete their homework, however, we don't have time to look through the folders on a daily basis. Please encourage your child to be responsible for his things and put their homework in the tray. Thanks.
