Summer 1 week 2
Friday 27th April
Dear Parents/Carers,
This week we have been focussing of alliteration in Phonics. This is a tricky skill for your child to learn. Please go over this with your child. I am sending home a paper copy, but I will also upload the Powerpoint on the website for you to play this game with your child. The ability to hear the difference between the initial sound not letter is of key importance in reading skills.
Our focus texts this week have been ‘Jeremy Worried About The Wind’ by Pamela Butchart and Kate Hindley and ‘Barry, the fish with Fingers’ by Sue Hendra.
In science, we have learnt about the physical changes in popcorn (early physics). We made popcorn in Forest School on Friday.
We have begun dance and yoga again this half term. This will be on Tuesday afternoon.
In mathematics, we have been focusing on 3D shape, specifically spheres. Your child has been assessed on their ‘Block Play’. There is much research that links ability in block play to mathematical ability in KS2 and KS3.
Kind Regards
