Spring 1 (Come Fly With Me) Week 5 2nd-5th February

Phonics

This term we will be working on consolidating our knowledge of the Set 1 special friend sounds (sh, ch, th, qu, ng, nk, qu) and we will also be starting Set 2 sounds (ay, ee, igh, ow, oo, oo, ar, or, ou, ir, air, oy). Please practise these at home with us daily alongside reading.

Reading

This week we have focused on the story of 'Dipal's Diwali'. We are learning about India in our topic and so we have recapped the different ways Diwali is celebrated.

Writing 

This week, we have started our new book 'All About Diwali'. We have focused on sentences that match our phonic knowledge and written these down including 'I can see a tray of food' and 'I can see a dress' to describe some things we might see when it is Diwali.

Maths

We have been learning about odd and even numbers, combining 2 numbers and beginning to read and write simple number sentences and also understanding what a double is.

Big Picture

 Our topic this term is 'Come Fly With Me'. We have continued learning about the country of India. We have learnt about Holi festival and how this is celebrated. We had so much fun tasting Indian food including onion bhajis, poppadoms, mango chutney, raita and naan bread. We are also busy preparing for our class assembly which is next Friday 13th February  at 8:50.
