The children will be in their final week of Read Write Inc phonics, this week, until they return in September. They will be continuing with their structured lessons of reading and writing and will be sent home with their phonics book, on Friday. All of the phonics books, library books and any other school resources need to be returned next week, ready for the fresh year, in September. We will be adding Oxford Owl and Reading Wise resources online, throughout the holidays, so please continue to access these and enable the children to read as much as they can.
In maths this week, the children will be learning about different lengths and how we can measure objects using different resources. The children will be given a chart of classroom objects and they will be comparing measurements, using pencils. They will be using their prediction skills to guess how many pencils will be needed for each object and then testing their predictions. The children will also be exploring different objects to make their own boat and what they can use to make it float successfully. We will then be adding cubes to see which boat holds the most, before sinking.
In the wider curriculum this week, we will be looking at rhyming stories and exploring rhyming words. We will be reading different stories and creating our own rhyming strings. The children will also be creating their musical instruments throughout the week, which they had planned at home. They will be reflecting on what went well and what could be improved on, when making their instrument. All of the children will then have the opportunity to play their instruments, at the end of the week.
Have a great week!
