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 have 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.
Books will only be updated when your child can confidently read the words fluently.
Maths
This week, we are learning to understand that doubling means twice as many.
Challenge to complete at home to support learning in school:
Practise doubling numbers to 5. Tell a story of someone having trouble looking after two dogs who will not do what they are told. Then they get given two more dogs to look after – now they have four and they have ‘double trouble’! What about if they have three dogs – how many would be double trouble? Ask the children to model doubling numbers up to five on their fingers.
Theme
This half term, our topic is based around ‘Journeys’ and this week we read ‘Martha Maps it Out’. The children will enjoy lots of activities linked to this story next week.
The children have enjoyed imbedding their learning from our previous book ‘The Lion inside’ and this week they enjoyed singing songs about being brave and sharing times when they have shown themselves to be brave.
Check out our brave poses:
