Monday 18th November

Literacy

This week we will be reading the story of Mr Wolf's week and writing our own version of the story in a group.

On Thursday your child will do a piece of big writing (independent) based on the book. Using pictures (below) to help them they need to write some simple sentences such as It was hot so I went to the beach. It was snowing so I made a snowman. At home they just need to be able to SAY some simple sentences.



Phonics - or (shut the door)  poor  horse  storm  corn  sort  fork  doctor

Try to read and spell words with the or sound.  Or try saying/writing a sentence with each word.

For some reason the web site with the image of words to read/spell will not open. Try watching this video of all the set 2 sounds to read the "or" words.  the "or" sound is at 3minutes 12 seconds.


Remember - from this week onwards we will change ALL reading books (Read Write Inc & Oxford Reading Tree) on Wednesdays. Library books will still be changed on Thursdays.


Maths - this week we are practicing addition by counting on, using a number line and counting on in our head (using our fingers)
There is a new game on the active learn site.  I will continue to put games on the Mangahigh site, but there are very few games left for children of such a young age, so some of them may be more difficult or involve more reading.

Try the helicopter rescue game too to practice adding by counting on (there are various levels) Later in the week we will work on subtraction by counting back and using a number lines.


Topic - this week we will continue working on the weather.  We will record the temperature and weather every day this week. On Friday the children will bring home their weather chart to record the weather and temperature for Saturday & Sunday. If they complete it and return it to school (in the homework tray) they will be given a sticker.
