Summer 1 week 3
Friday 5th May
Dear Parents/Carers,
This week, we have been looking at 3D shape in maths. In Literacy, we have been looking at ‘The Growing Story’ by Helen Oxenbury. A link to it is below if you do not have a copy of this text at home.

This book is worth while going through with your child, as it teaches:
Time passing -history
Tier 2 vocabulary’- (‘orchard’ ‘blossomed’) Literacy
Seasonal change ‘science’
Life cycles– science
Concepts of tall and short– maths
We celebrated the coronation by trying red jelly, white ice-cream and blue blueberries and discussed how they felt on our tongue, how they smelt and tasted.
HOMEWORK
Please read every evening with your child. Please investigate and discuss shape by building with wooden blocks OR packets of food (cuboids), tins of food, (cylinders) and oranges or any other round fruits, objects (spheres)
Kind Regards
