This week, in literacy, we will be continuing to focus on “Look Up” by Nathan Bryon.    We will be reviewing the ambitious vocabulary meteor, blasted, mesmerised and victory.  The children will be recapping what happened in the story using full sentences and explaining their thinking.  They will be writing dictated sentences linked to the story, labelling space suits using grapheme charts, creating their own victory dances, building space rockets, making telescopes and will be rearranging words to make a sentence to match to a picture from the text.

During maths, the children will be focusing on cardinality, ordinality and counting.  The children will be counting things that cannot be seen, eg. claps or hops and will be discussing and reviewing how to count larger sets of objects and will be noticing patterns when counting beyond 20.  

In phonics, we will be continuing to review phase 3 sounds and will be focusing this week on longer words, words ending s or es.  There will be no new tricky words but we will be focusing on be, into, my, sure and all.
Reading groups will continue Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and the children will need reading folders in their bags every day please.
