This week in literacy,  we will be focusing on the story of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxebury .  We will be making predictions about the story based and will introduce 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 oracy. The children will be shown 4 objects and will be asked to decide which one does not belong with the others.  There is no right or wrong answer but the focus will be on the oracy skills the children use to explain their reasoning.  They will be asked to Think, Pair, Share before answering in a full sentence: ______ does not belong because _______.

In phonics, we will be focusing on longer words and words with double letters. .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.
