This week we have begun an exciting carousel of activities in English and Maths.

In writing we are working on applying key skills such as:

  • spelling "Common Exception Words" correctly
  • including the 4 different types of sentence in our writing
  • punctuating our sentences correctly
  • using adjectives in expanded noun phrases e.g. beautiful, blue butterfly
  • using conjunctions such as "but, when, because, and"  to join two sentences
  • form all letters correctly with flicks ready for joining
In maths we are re-visiting key concepts such as:

  • partitioning numbers into 100s, 10s and 1s e.g. 378= 300 + 70 + 8
  • solving missing number problems e.g. 🔺 x 5 = 30
  • using drawings of "sticks and crosses" to help solve addition and subtraction problems
  • identifying and naming 2D and 3D shapes
  • using the = sign in different places in a calculation e.g. 35 = 20 + 15,    11 = 21 -10
We have new Guided Reading books and have started to have some wonderful discussions in our groups. 

On Friday, we will begin our new topic "The Great Outdoors"!
