In Science last
week we planted some seeds and are doing an ongoing investigation into what
plants need to grow. Two of plants are receiving water and sunlight, two are
receiving water but no light and two are receiving light but no water. Over the
next few weeks the class will be monitoring these so please ask them questions
at home to develop their understanding.
This week in
Literacy we will be continuing to learn about plants and animals. We will be
learning about different habitats using non-fiction books and the internet and
then consolidating our learning together. I hope by the end of the week each
child will have described a habitat in detail.
This week in Maths
we are going to be continuing to learn about money. Last week the children
started to think about the value of different coins and notes and we will be
developing their knowledge of this throughout the week. We will be also be
solving addition and subtraction money problems and counting in 2’s, 5’s and
10’s using money. As I mentioned last week, keep exploring money at home, for
example could your children write a money word question?!
Phonics Screening
is this week, please do not mention this to your child as I am going to make it
seem very informal, just like a 1:1 phonics session (with stickers!). This will
hopefully make your child feel relaxed so they can do their best. If you have
any further questions about this please do not hesitate to ask me.
