Newsletter 5 – Spring Term February 5th 2015
Happy Home Learning
This week we have been learning the rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep, please sing the rhyme with your child at home helping your child to pronounce the words correctly. Within all of our learning this week we have been looking at number 3! Can you help your child to count, understand and recognise the number 3? Within the supermarket ask your child can you get 3 carrots? Can you set the table with 3 forks? Can you climb 3 steps? Can you find 3 toys? Can you find a number 3 on a car number plate, door or price label? We would love to hear all about your learning next week, please contribute to our success tree and inform us of your home learning.
Foundation 2 Literacy – This week we have been learning about Goldilocks and the three bears. The children have read the story and we have talked about the characters and created character pictures on the computer, thinking about the correct colours and shapes. You could practise this at home either on a computer if possible or in the book. We are continuing practising segmenting and blending with the phonic sounds that we already know and practising reading and writing VC and CVC words. We have also learnt the new sounds ir, ou, oy. Numeracy – This week we have been learning about adding one more. We have used number lines and looked at the number that comes next. We have talked about the number getting bigger and going up. You could practise asking randomly what number is one more than you given number.
Year 1 Homework
Numeracy – We are learning about subtraction. Can you make up some subtraction stories? E.g. there are 5 lollipops, 2 melt, how many are left?
Literacy – Can you practise adding the suffixes ed & ing to words? E.g. walk – walked, sleep – sleeping. Try writing some sentences including these words.
Year 2 Homework
Spellings – slowly, quickly, carefully, quietly, sadly, lovely.
Maths – we are learning about subtraction. Can you write some simple subtraction word problems? Draw the picture and work out the answer. E.g. Sam has 20 buns, he drops 2. How many has he got left? 20 – 2 = 18
