We’ve had a great week this week using our focus book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury.
We listened for lots of different noises on our sound walk: we heard the dishwasher swishing, Mr Freeman and year 5 dancing to music, birds tweeting and the cars going past.
Our word of the week has been squelch the children have really enjoyed using this during their learning.
“I am squelching in the mud!”
Poetry Picnic
Each week we learn a new poem. We will recite this poem each day. By saying the poem out loud, we can focus on the sounds and rhythm of each word or line. We talk to the children about how this can help us become better readers. This week our poem was called Falling Apples
Here is the tree with its leaves so green.
Here are the apples that hang between.
When the wind blows, the apples will fall.
And this is the basket to catch them all.
Phonics
This week, we have learnt the phonemes (the sounds a letter makes) ck, e, u, r. We’ve also learnt a new tricky word; I.
During our phonics learning, we listened carefully to the initial sound in a word and sorted objects by the sounds they begin with.
Help at home: Look out for a ‘learn at home’ sheet which recaps the phonics learning from the week. Please look at this with your child and complete the activities.
Maths
This week we’ve learnt that numbers can be composed of ones. We joined in with the STEM sentence “one and one and one make three” and made collections of three things for the three bears.
Have a happy and healthy weekend
