Dear Parents 12.10.18
Next week we will be learning…
Maths: we are using cooking as a hook for maths, looking at capacity and the language which goes with it such as ‘full’, ‘empty’ and ‘half-full’. We will be making (and eating) porridge with the children!
Literacy: In literacy we will be developing our ideas of the structure of story and sequencing from last week. We will be getting the children to develop their own stories, thinking of beginning, middle and end of the story as well as character and setting. See if your child can make up their own stories at home. We will be scribing the story for them and then acting some of them out!
Phonics: Next week we will be looking at the sounds ‘i,n,m and d’, learning the synthetic sound and actions to go with them. We hope that you have found the action sheet and sound cards useful in supporting your child at home. We are also sending home handwriting sheets. Don’t worry if your child is not yet ready for these. They act as a guide for you as to how we will be teaching the children to write the letters and for those who are ready/want to have a go!
Some useful information!!
