Week Beginning Monday 16th October 2017

English

We are writing instructions for how to make a superhero hand puppet (now that we are the experts!). We will also learn about plurals.

Maths

We are using a number line to help us add and subtract. We will decide which is the most efficient way to add to numbers and what happens to the number line when we subtract. We will introduce the concept of diffference through 'how many more?' and 'how many less?'.

Phonics

Mrs Thomson's group are working on: or (shut the door), ur (nurse with a purse), ow (brown cow). Miss Adamson's group are reviewing er (better letter) and learning ir (whirl and twirl) and wh as in what, where when etc and ph as in alphabet. 

Handwriting

I hope that we will finish our work on curly caterpillar letters this week (letters that begin with the magic c).

P.E.

We are playing the Honey Pot game. We will use underarm throws and running skills for this game.

RE/Maths

In the afternoons this week we are learning about Diwali because Hindus celebrate Diwali on Thursday 19th October 2017. We are going to see what 2D shapes we can identify in Rangoli patterns and design our own. We will also learn about Diwali gifts and 3D shapes. We'll guess what the gift could be depending on the 3D shape of the parcel!

Wednesday afternoon
