Spelling
Each Friday your child will receive a list of new spelling words in their yellow book. Please spend some time helping your child learn these spellings by practising them regularly throughout the week. A good method to use is ‘look, say, cover, write, check’. There will be a spelling quiz the following Friday at school, before new words are sent home. Your child’s yellow spelling book must be in their bag each Friday in preparation for this. Thank you.
Reading
For the next two weeks, our whole school text is ‘Here We Are’ by Oliver Jeffers. You can access this book online here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPPQdDwTUvE . You may also like to listen to Oliver Jeffers read some of this other books - https://www.oliverjeffers.com/books#/abookaday/
Writing
Using ‘Her We Are’ as our core text, we will be building up to create a non-fiction (information) leaflet. Next week we will begin by introducing and exploring the text. We will then look at features of non-fiction texts, such as headings, pictures/photographs and labels. Towards the end of the week, we will plan and write about ‘Our Wonderful World’, focusing on the environment and animals.
Increasing Vocabulary
‘Here We Are’ by Oliver Jeffers has some new words which you may not have come across before. Some of these include:
unique endangered complicated
Can you find out what these words mean?
A Nurturing Environment
Next week our key text talks a lot about kindness. It reminds us to be kind to the planet and kind to one another. We will discuss and think about how we can show kindness, and why it is important. We will then create our own kindness poster.
Maths
In maths next week, we will continue looking at addition and subtraction. We will build up to add and subtract two 2-digit numbers by the end of the week. Children will be encouraged to use their understanding of partitioning tens and ones, as well as “if I know …, then I know …” to help them with this. We will use manipulatives to support the learning. For example,
Have a lovely weekend
