Monday 9th March

Literacy

Phonics - u-e  huge brute  (use  rude cube  June)
revise oo (poo at the zoo)

Your children will be given new reading bokos tomorrow as normal.

Later this week the children will do a short reading comprehension. They do not need to revise for it and should not worry about it (they don't even know yet.) It is the first proper reading comprehension test they have done and it is a test done by Y1 children in England, so do not be concerned if the result is not as goods as you expected.


Maths
This week we are learning addition and subtraction bonds to 9.
Your child should now be able to do sums such as 4+?=9  9-2=? and even 9-?=3 etc

They should also be able to do similar sums to make any number up to 10
Eg 5+?=8  7-4=?  3+?=5 etc

Many of the addition and subtraction games I put on the blog last week can help with this too.

We are also revising doubles up to 5 + 5 and will now do doubles up to 10 + 10 (some children may double other 2 digit numbers too - 40+40 12 + 12 etc)
doubles song

We are also revising number bonds (addition & subtraction to 10) and how we can use that to do addition and subtraction to 20

The activelearn game focuses on bonds to 10.


In topic we are still learning about different types of animals and today we have learned how to classify animals by what they eat - carnivore, omnivore & herbivore.



Please remember that on Thursday we are going to the theatre to see "Adios Peter Pan" I assume they are taking their snack with them, but to be honest I don't know. I'll ask Srta Valeron tomorrow and update the blog accordingly.

Next week we are visiting Tio Isidro farm, you should be receiving an email from school if you haven't already. The children don't even know yet!!

They should take their snack and water as normal and school will provide a packed lunch for them. We will be back in school for about 1.45


Please remember that to help with good hygiene we have decided that it is better if each child has their own REUSABLE water bottle rather than a cup. Your child should have brought home their cup on Friday and should bring a water bottle to school every day. If they drink it all then they can refill it in school. Thanks
