Home Practice

Phonics - ue words OR ow (grow) words OR high-frequency words

Maths - read and write numbers

Counting - Count in 10s starting at different numbers, 12,22,32 and so on.

Reading - Please try to read each night, it makes a big difference!

English

We continued to read both the traditional Jack and the Beanstalk and the twisted version of Jack and the Baked Beanstalk.

We talked about what can grow tall into the sky and came up with answers such as a sunflower, a fruit tree, and a palm tree. We then planned and wrote our version of Jack and the Beanstalk with a different object being planted.

Phonics

Some of us have been revising ie in tie and chief and ow in grow and brown.

Some of us have been learning the different oo spellings - oo, ew, u_e, and ue.

Maths

We have been learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. We have practically made the numbers and then positioned them on a number line.

R.E.

We read the story of The Call of the Disciples. We made a fish collage and acted out being in the boat with Jesus.

Science

We tested different objects to see if they were absorbent. This was tricky as we had to see if the water soaked into the material or not.

Thank you to everyone who came to our phonics meeting. The PowerPoint is attached below for those who could not make it.

Have a lovely half term!
