Weekly round up

Another busy week to be had! 

We have really enjoyed the Katie Morag stories and are coming to an end of that section of English. We have written in postcard style to "Granma Mainland" and we used a story mountain plan to help us. Next week it is poetry using a poem called "Seaside" by Shirley Hughes. 

Phonic sounds next week -  o with a u sound (son, young), se with z sound (cheese, please), se/ce making s sound (horse, dance) and ey with ee sound (donkey, honey)

Next week in maths it is addition and subtraction to 20. So there will be lots of work on doubling numbers and also near doubles ( if we know 8+8=16 we know that 8+9=17)

In science we learnt about different types of fish and labelled parts. Next week it will be looking at different reptiles. 

An email has gone out - please bring a plastic bottle no bigger than a litre as we will be making a bird feeder in next few weeks. Also to bring in a cardboard box no bigger than standard cereal box as we will be using our knowledge of wheels and axels to make a vehicle. 

Have a great weekend.
