Following on from our exciting visit from the Giant last week, the children’s learning has truly started to "grow"! It has been a week of discovery as we keep a close eye on our magic beans.

We have been busy learning all about seeds and the different parts of a sunflower. We’ve turned into mini-scientists to observe our magic beans in their pots; we are thrilled to report that we can already see a root beginning to grow! We are all watching very closely and hoping to see a shoot appearing on everyone’s beans very soon.

Children are now learning about words that combine adjacent consonants with digraphs (like bench, flight, or toast). They’ve also tackled a new set of Tricky Words with great confidence. Most impressively, the children are now writing simple sentences independently and have had a wonderful time creating their own imaginative journey stories.

In Maths, we have built on our work with doubling facts and have moved into classification. The children have been practising how to sort objects into groups by SizeShapeColour.

Home Learning - 24th April

Phonics - Please review all phoneme sounds learnt. Your child needs to know all red and blue sounds taught, including tricky words sent home. Continue to use the homework sheets to practice reading words.

Maths - Please find a maths learning worksheet for your child to complete. Support your child in completing the domino doubles. We have been using the sentences:

"This is a double because .... is a part and .... is a part"

"....is made of .... and ...."

".... and .... makes ...."

(Children fill in the gaps with the number, they also show the numbers on their fingers)

Reading - Please sign your child's reading record each time you hear your child read.
