In science, the children have been learning all about materials. Inspired by the story, ‘A Planet Full of Plastic’, I would love the children to do some more research into plastic. As a class we have discussed how plastic is fantastic, but that sometimes plastic ends up where it isn’t meant to be e.g. oceans, parks etc. The children have been challenged to make an eye catching poster all about plastic, the children can be as creative as they would like.

Children are to continue learning their assembly lines. The majority of the children know these off by heart; however some children still need a little bit of practise.

 Oh no! The Evil Pea is on the loose and will be visiting your homes this week. I wonder, what will he do to your fruit and vegetables? Can the children create their own character who has been tormented by the Evil Pea? The children could create a mini crime scene (please see year 1 page), or could draw their poor fruit/vegetable in their home learning book. For an extra challenge, I would like the children to answer the following questions, in character: Who are you? What has happened to you? How do you feel? We have been using the personal pronoun ‘I’ in class, with a capital letter.

This week the children have been asked to practise their number formation. Let’s make sure all of those numbers are the right way around! The children have also been challenged to describe Mole (from our class story) using as many adjectives as they can. If you could stick these two sheets into their home learning books, it would be greatly appreciated.

Please continue to practise the speed sounds with the children. If the children could practise their sounds every time before they read, that would be AMAZING!

Finally, please read, read, and read! “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”

Home Learning 13.9.19

The children’s homework this week is all about READING!

The children have each been given a copy of the Read Write Inc. speed sounds chart and a lolly stick. This is the children’s to keep. Please spend time pointing to each of the sounds in and out of order with the lolly stick. Being able to fluently recognise, read and correctly say these sounds is invaluable to the children’s progression in reading and writing.

The children may not have learned all of the sounds at school yet, it would be wonderful for the children to become familiar with them, all ready for when they are explicitly taught. Watch this space as over the coming weeks the children will be producing a video on how to correctly pronounce the sounds!

Next week’s show and tell (Friday) will be for the children to bring in their favourite book from home. Children can bring this book in on any day and keep it safely in their tray.

Please read with the children as much as possible over the weekend and remember to record the children’s reading in their log.

Finally, thank you for supporting all of the children with decorating their home learning books. It was amazing to see their personality all over the covers!
