Lost & Found By Oliver Jeffers

This week we have been reading lots and lots of books written and illustrated by the wonderfully talented Oliver Jeffers. We should call Ms Fallon the book lady because she comes to our class every day bearing new books and occasionally stays to read them for us!

We learnt to draw our own penguins! 


Phonics

Our phonics focus last week was learning about double letter sounds. When we see two consonants together they only make one sound becuase if there wasn't double letters it would change the sound rule of the word. They are great at spotting these double letter words in their books.

Materials and 3D Shapes

We continue to learn about 3D shapes and after assessing the children on Friday I am happy that most of the children are able to identify and name the following shapes: sphere, cone, cylinder, cube, cuboid, pyramid. Why not ask them to name objects around the house and if you see they are not confident identifying any of these shapes to could focus a little extra practice this coming week. In the activity below we are extending our learning to identifying various materials that make our toys.

Handwriting

I am encouraging the children to join their letters together and practice their cursive writing. They are excellent writers and have been working very hard in class.

Ms Fallon's Challenge!

Ms Fallon is always trying to set us a little maths challenge to extend our learning... we say BRING IT ON!

Can you make a Numicon animal?

Can you make me a 3D Shape?

Next week's leaning topic: We will be learning all about clothes and fabric over the next two week. We will be making a clothes shop and would love to add to our store collection, so if you had a few spare items of CLOTHING for our shop please bring them in. We would love a mix of dresses, trousers, jumpers, boots, shoes etc of different materials. Also if anyone had any nice FABRIC they could donate to our learning we would be thrilled to recieve it! 
I look forward to seeing everyone for the PTM's on Monday.

​Have a great weekend,

Ms Murray

Hi, I am only catching up on this years blog now! I can't believe January is almost over!!

I have a fabric cuboid, is it too late to send it in?? I'll send it in with whatever items of clothing I can find for your store and if you don't need it anymore just stick it back in Sarah's school bag.

Thanks for your time today.

Great blog.. So many amazing things happening in class.. Maci really enjoyed the subject on 3D shapes. She is still pointing out the shapes in her every day world. Thank you for having us in for the maths for fun, maci tells everyone the story of me calling one of the kids baby.
