Literacy

Reading – your child will have 2 new reading books today (if they have returned last week’s ones.) They will also get the words for their new “Read Write Inc” book and they will be given that book on Wednesday.

Library books will still be changed on Thursday.

DAYS OF WEEK (on level 2 the first day of the week is Sunday, not Monday)

 

Maths

This week we will revise number bonds to 5 and to 10  (2 + ? = 5   3 + ? = 10) etc 

Your child should know some of these bonds by memory and some will also know the corresponding subtraction. If 6 + 4 = 10 then 10 – 4 = 6 etc

 

This week we will learn bonds to 6 and to 7. While it is not as important to learn these by memory, they should to be able to work them out using blocks/fingers or by counting on. Eg if I have 5 bananas, how many more do I need until I have 7 bananas.  

There is a new game on the active learn website ACTIVE LEARN
