We are continuing our topic of superheroes this week . We will be learning about real life superheroes like Florence Nightingale. We will listen to superhero stories and learn what qualities superheroes have. We will also share our own amazing super talents. We will finish our topic on Friday with a superhero dress up day. A separate letter will be sent out regarding this.
RKB Assembly
Please join us on Wednesday 29th April at 9.00am for our superheroes assembly.
In Maths, this week, children will build on their understanding as they explore the change structure of addition (augmentation) by adding more. The focus for this step is on increasing a quantity by a given amount, while continuing to work within 10 Children will use real objects to see that the quantity of a group can be changed by adding more. The ‘first, then, now’ structure is a very effective way to help build their understanding by creating mathematical stories in meaningful contexts. At first, children may need to re-count all the items (for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) to see how many they have altogether. When they are ready, support them to count on instead (for example, 4, 5, 6, 7). Encourage children to enact and represent number stories using ten frames, number tracks and their fingers.
The children are working really hard in their new groups. It is lovely to hear the children reading and writing so well. Please continue to support your child at home to practice reading the book and completing the online quiz on Oxford Owl.
