Phonics

We have continued to recap the digraphs ch, sh, ng, th, ai, ee, igh, oa this week, as well as our common exception words (CEWs) me, she, he, we, be, my.

We have been reading and writing silly sentences with these digraphs and words in them.

Maths

This week we have been exploring taking away and using a story method to tell a taking away story. An example is, ‘First I had 5 currants buns, then 2 were eaten, now I have 3 currant buns’. We also explored how to write number sentences using the taking away and equals symbols.

 

Topic

We have started our final author fortnight, reading Quest by Aaron Becker. The children have loved reading this sequel to the book Journey, which we read in the Spring term. We looked through the story and made up our own words as it is a picture book. We went on a quest to find the coloured pens, before returning to the classroom in order to write out own quests.

Ideas for home:

– Make up your own take away stories using toys you have at home.

– Draw a treasure map and go on your own quest. Where will you need to travel? How will you travel there? Where will you end up?
