This week, in literacy, we will be beginning our work around Look Up! by Nathan Bryon.  We will be introducing and discussing the ambitious vocabulary meteor, blasted, mesmerised and victory.  The children will be writing sentences to see what they can see, labelling space related pictures, creating their own victory dances and making telescopes to see the stars.

In maths this week,  we will be focusing on subitising.  The children will be discussing the number 6.  They will begin the week by discussing what they notice about 6 when watching the Numberblocks episode.  We will be reminding the children what subitising means (seeing the whole amount of using our fast eyes) and will be investigating when we can see 6 and not 6.  During the week, the children will be printing 6 patterns, making 6 on a ten frame, subitising, counting and recognising 6 and not 6 and will use egg boxes to count and collect 6 objects.

We will be continuing to learn our phonics and this week we will be on words ending -ing,  compound words and those ending -es  e.g. looking, farmyard and torches.  The children will continue to ‘chunk it up’ to blend longer words and will read using GPCs which they have learnt so far.   There will be no new tricky words this week but please keep practising tricky words from the tricky word box with your child that have been learnt so far this year.  In school, we will be focusing this week on  they, be, into, my, sure and all.
 

Reading sessions will continue this week and children will be bringing a new book home to share with you on Tuesday.  Please ensure this is kept in their reading folder with their reading diary and please return to school every day, after they have read it to you.

Rhyme of the week: Five little Speckled Frogs.
