Three Happy Kids Plying Amongst Autumn Leaves by mentalmind1 | GraphicRiver

We have had another great week of learning. We are constantly amazed by the children's positive attitide towards everything they do!

Percy the Park Keeper at Belton House | National Trust

We have been learning through the story of Percy the Park Keeper. We talked about how he helps his animals and takes care of the park. We did some writing and drawing about what jobs we might like to do when we are older. We have been practicing our letter formation and trying hard to learn to write some Tricky Words. We talk about how these words try to trick us! when, what, was, went, said, have, come, some, like, of.

In Phonics we have been looking at igh as in night and fight and ie as in tie and lie.

In Maths we have been looking at how to make numbers from 20 to 29. We have used straws, Base 10, ten frames and cubes. We make groups of 10 and some 1s. We have been doing some great number challenges which really make us think and explain. We have been trying to write our numbers correctly and we are getting really good at checking. We have been counting in 1s, 10s and also 5s when someone suggested this as a way of working out a challenge!

All our collective worships this week have been about Mental Health Awareness. We read a book called The Huge Bag of Worries and talked about anything that might be worrying us. In R.E. we have been talking about our families.

We had French with Mrs Quilliam. In Music with Mrs Winter we got the instruments out! In P.E we have been jumping and rolling in the hall. We got the benches out and had a great time practising our skills!

Home Practice

Read for at least 10 minutes every night. This is so important. please sign the diary so we can change the books. Keep practicing reading the Tricky Words on sight.

Practise counting in 1s. Take particular care when crossing the ten boundary, 29 to 30, 39 to 40 and so on. Ensure that your child is saying the numbers correctly too, twenTY not tweNY!

Start at different numbers, count forwards and backwards. Miss a number out, can your child tell you which number you have missed? How do they know?

We have also been counting in 10s to 100. Use 2 hands to show 10 fingers. Count forwards and backwards from different starting numbers. How many hands would you need for 30? How do you know?
