Monday 25th November

Literacy

Reading – Please remember we are now changing reading books on Wednesday, not Monday. Your child will get 2 new reading books on Wednesday (if they return the previous ones.) On Monday they will only get the words for their new “Read Write Inc” book.

Library books will still be changed on Thursday.

 Phonics – air (it’s not fair)  

Your child should be able to read and attempt to spell words such as  -  stair  pair  chair  hair  fairy 

 

Maths

This week we will learn number bonds to 20.

For most children who know their number bonds to 10 this comes quite easily, but some will need more practice. 

If you know 7 + 3 is 10   then you should be able to work out 17 + ? = 20   and later 7 + ? =20 etc

There is no new game on the activelearn site but you can try these games.

funky bonds 20

shoot balls

bonds against the clock

hit the button against the clock

 

If your child is still unsure of number bonds that make 10 then keep working with them at home and continue to play these games on number bonds to 10 (from a few weeks ago)

There will also be a new game on the Mangahigh site each day this week. This is the final week of the Mangahigh competition. After that the mangahigh site will no longer work.  On Friday I have put a game on 3d shapes and one on money.  We have not done 3d shapes yet this year, but they may remember some shapes from reception. We will be working on money in a few weeks time. Do not be concerned if your child struggles with some of the mangahigh games. It is designed to be used across the whole year, but as the children are enjoying it and we only have it for a limited time I am putting on as many games as I can and some are harder than others.

 

 

Topic – this week we will continue to work on the weather and the seasons. We will also find time to fit in learning some Christmas songs.

You should have received a letter advising you of your child’s costume for the show. It appears that the images are not available. Hopefully the office will resend the email with the images but below I have added the images too.  Year 1 will be the crowd. They should wear a Christmas jumper or Christmas t-shirt and a pair of trousers/jeans or a skirt.  They should also have a wooly hat and scarf (gloves – optional)   Any colour, any style - the pictures are just to give you a rough idea - anything SIMILAR is fine.


Thank you for your support.
