Literacy
This week we will
finally start doing “read write inc” on a regular basis. Today your child will
bring home a list of words (green words to sound out, red “tricky”
words to learn by memory and “speedy” words from previous books
which they should be able to read easily) They should practice reading these
words and most children should be able to spell some/most of the words too. The children who are reading red books do not have any words today as we are still finishing off last week's book. They will bring words home tomorrow.
Today your child will
have new “Oxford Reading Tree” books and we have also taken away last week’s
RWI book. They will be given the RWI book that we are working on this week on
Wednesday and it should be returned the following Monday with the ORT reading
books. Please make sure the books are returned in their reading folder, along
with the yellow reading record (list of books) every Monday.
Remember that library
books (in the big transparent folder) should be changed on Thursday.
Phonics – ow (blow the snow) – grow, yellow, show,
crow, slow
Maths
This week we are
revising 2D shapes. Your child should be able to name and describe square,
circle, triangle and rectangle. EG a square has 4 sides all the same length and
4 corners. Some children will also know pentagon, hexagon, octagon, oval, diamond (rhombus) &
semicircle. There will be a new game on the active learn site. For the purpose
of the game a square is a special type of rectangle, so when it says click the
rectangles you need to click the squares too. We will also be doing some work
on repeating patterns too.
Try these games too,
some are easier than others.
catch shapes
(this is quite hard –
click on a shape without getting caught by the flying robots and then click on
the correct word)
Don’t forget to keep
practicing counting to 20 and writing numbers if your child is still unsure. We
have also been counting back from 20 to 1.
Topic – we have more or less finished out topic work
on the body and senses so this week we will be doing some fun activities and
crafts for Halloween.
