This week we have started a new English unit – Jack and the Beanstalk!<\/p>\n

The children retold the story, using actions and reading our story map to help to retell it accurately.<\/p>\n

The children developed their computer skills further this week by using the space bar and the return key on the keyboard to start a new line! The children were really good at helping each other by reminding them what the important buttons were on the key board.<\/p>\n

We have moved in to weight for maths. We have reminded ourselves how to use the scales and work out what postition the scales need to be in for something to be lighter or heavier. We have used the sentence stem: _____ is lighter than the _______ OR ________ \u00a0is heavier than the ______.<\/p>\n

Next week:
\n<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Topic – Jack and the Beanstalk\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Maths – <\/b>We will all be looking at comparing objects we are weighing. Most of us will be using multilink to explore units of measurement when weighting objects, such as the car is as heavy as 10 multilink cubes. Some of us will be talking about the difference in the weight of objects.<\/span><\/p>\n

English – \u00a0<\/b>We will be collecting evidence on Jack and the Giant from Jack and the beanstalk. We I\u2019ll have the opportunity to ask Jack some questions and explore the language used in the book to help us form an opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How can you help your child at home?\u00a0<\/u><\/span>
\nPlease keep practising numbers at home. Children need to be confident with numbers up 100 \u00a0by the end of the school year. Ask your child to find one more and one less any given number.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we will be using inference skills in English this week, you could practise with some of the books you read at home with your child. See if they can find the message behind the story, what is the author trying to tell you?<\/span><\/p>\n

We are writing questions, so you could practise talking about what questions are and the children can try writing the down. What internet them? What do they what to find out? REMEMBER to include a question mark at the end of your question!!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
