Forest School

The children are continuing to expand their understanding of Spring, using a range of vocabulary, and enjoyed their Spring walk in the beautiful sunshine. We compared the differences between the walk we took 4 weeks ago and the walk we took today. The children were delighted to see much more growth and were able to tick many more signs of Spring on their tick sheet.

Ways in which you can support your child are to:
Practise reading different individual sounds your child finds difficult –  sounds your child needs to learn will has been given to you at parents evening.
Support your child to blend the sounds to read the word e.g. m-a-t = mat
When your child is confident reading aloud, encourage them to read in their head ‘Fred in their head’.

Please ensure your child’s reading book and reading diary stay in your child’s plastic folder which comes to school every day so your child can read with an adult in school. We aim to listen to your child at least once a week.

Books will only be updated when your child can confidently read the words fluently.

Maths
This week, we are continuing to build and identify numbers to 20.

Challenge to complete at home:

Click on the link below and practice making numbers to 20 using the Numicon. Start with the ten Numicon and add 1. What number have we made? How do you know? What is one more? How can we represent this number?  Continue until you have made 20.
