Homework- This week we both Reception classes were so high up the Doodle maths school chart with 78% of Zephaniah and 70% of Shihab Nye class in the green zone. With a couple more children being in the green zone by the end of next week, I think we could be top and win the Maths Mammoth for the week which would be a Reception first!
Read at least 3 times week the book 'Jim and the Vet'.
If your child has words in the nativity, they are in their bags today. Please help them to learn them. Costume requests will be with you early next week.
This week we have been learning ___ is one less than ___, in our maths lessons. The children are becoming more familiar with sequence of digits within 5 and some to 10 and using the vocabulary 1 more and 1 less. If you wish to do some more learning around this, a good website is https://ictgames.com/mobilePage/beeMoreOrLess/
In phonics, we learnt the sound j, v, w and the tricky words as, to, go, of.
In literacy, we continued our writing of CVC words, using a picture grid to select words then creating a list.
As part of Road Safety Week, the children have learnt about cycle safety- wearing bright and reflective clothing and a helmet being so important.
