Friday 7th November

We have really enjoyed our history learning this week about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.

We have learnt a rhyme to help us remember the eventful day in 1605. Can your child remember it?


You may enjoy watching and discussing the videos together at home.

Phonics

In phonics we have learnt the alternative graphemes for "ee".  These are 

ea, e_e, ie, ey and y

Please can we ask that you make sure that you read the allocated Bug Club book this week with your child to practise the new digraphs and new tricky words 'looked'. 'called' and 'asked'.  This makes such a difference to how your child remembers and applies this new learning in class. Please see the sticker in your child's reading log for the name of the book to read.

Thank you

We have also allocated some games on Bug Club to practise reading and spelling words with these sounds.

If you fancy an extra read to practise the alternative "ee" graphemes above, we have allocated the books below; Easy-Peasy, Sunny Days, Rainy Days and Baby-sitting Barney.

Maths

We have explored odd and even numbers and have been counting in steps of 2. We have been singing a lovely song to help us!


You may like to use socks, gloves, shoes to put into pairs to count in 2s?

This week we have found out about the 'United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child' (UNCRC) Here is a link for parents about the UNCRC.           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO_yAe1RqXk The children have found out about their right to a family, food, home, water and play. Over the next few weeks the children will develop their own 'class charter' based on the UNCRC and their rights. Please see this week's parent mail for additional important year one information.
