This week the children have continued to focus on Stick Man. They have learnt about healthy eating and the importance of it. The children then created their own Stick Men using bread sticks, raisins and icing to then enjoy for their own snack.

During mathematics, the children have been measuring the height of Stick Man using blocks. They have been counting how many bricks tall each stick is and using language including: shortest and tallest to compare the heights between different Stick Men.

The children have learnt the following sounds over the past week and a half: s, a, t, p, i, n

Please practice these sounds daily with your children to support them with their understanding. It would also benefit your children if you encourage them to blend sounds at home as they are learning to do so in school. The dots underneath each letter are what we call ‘sound buttons’. The children are taught to point to each letter and say the sound aloud and then move onto blending the sounds to be able to read the word. For example:

We hope you enjoy the rest of your week.
