During Literacy, we read the Traditional Tale, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. We discussed the characters, setting, problems and solutions that happened in the story. The boys were very good at retelling the key events in the story and were able to write some sentences.
During Phonics, we revised the digraphs ‘or’ and ‘oo’. Can you please practise revising these digraphs using your sound cards and write words with these digraphs? You can challenge yourself by writing a sentence. We look forward to seeing your beautiful writing next week!
During Understanding the World, the boys have enjoyed learning about Spring and all the seasonal changes that happen at this time of year. The boys drew lovely pictures and wrote captions of all the signs of Spring.
In Maths, we have been focusing on number bonds to 10. We have been using a part- whole model to identify the different number bonds.
The Maths activity this week is as follows:
Place 5 of the objects on the table. How many objects are there?
One person closes their eyes whilst the other takes some of the items and hides them behind their back.
· How many objects are left?
· How many are hidden in your partners hand?
Repeat with different combinations and then move on to 6 and 7 items.
The boys had a workshop with the author, Jeremy Strong. He spoke to the boys about reading and writing stories. The boys thoroughly enjoyed his humorous workshop!
The boys absolutely loved the Easter Egg Hunt. They enjoyed finding the clues around the school in order to make different words related to Easter.
For Show and Tell next week, please bring in a picture of you as a baby.
