This week in literacy,  we will be continuing to focus on the story of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxebury .  We will be making reviewing the story and will recap the ambitious vocabulary petrified, narrow, stumble and gloomy.    During the week, the children will be writing a descriptive, dictated sentence, labelling items they would take on a bear hunt, labelling parts of a bear and will make their own binoculars/telescope.  The children will also have the opportunity to create and construct a bear cave, complete jigsaws lined to the Bear Hunt, reenact the story using props and make a split pin bear. 

In maths, the focus will be on comparison. The children will be identifying 6 and not 6 with a variety of objects. They will also be using the stem sentence: ____ is more than _____. The children will be using multi link cubes to make Numberblocks, placing them into ascending order.  When comparing numbers, we will be using less than/more than this week and the children will be comparing what they see. We will be watching Numberblocks, season 3 episode 9 - peekaboo and the children will be thinking about who in their class can hide behind each other and why? 

In phonics, we will be focusing on longer words, words with s (making z and s sound) and words with es (making iz sound) e.g. queens, boots, wishes.  Please keep practising all tricky words with the children.

Reading will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and children need their reading folders each day.  They will choose a new book for the reading challenge on a Friday.
 

Rhyme of the week: The Grand old Duke of York
