I hope you all have had fabulous week off and have been upto lots of fabulous things.
A new half term and a new topic...
'Pirates, Mermaids and Wildthings...'
Literacy:
During Literacy we are looking at recounts and we will be using 'Where the Wild Things Are' as a stimulus.
We will be looking at differnt parts of the film and recounting the journey of Max.
The children will be working on including the following.
1. time connectives E.g Next, Then, After that
2. connectives E.g and, but, because, so, who, which,
3. adverbial phrases E.g quietly, confidently, Immediately, Excitedly, Wholeheartedly
Numeracy/Topic:
We are going all pirates themed with Pirate Pete's shop going to make an appearance.
Children will learn to recognise all the coins and find exact amounts for the objects they want to buy.
Children will also learn how to buy things if they have a certain coin for example a £1 coin or a £5 note.
We will also be using shapes to make pirate pictures and symmetrical flags for their ships!
Children will also learn to use coordinates and direct Pirate Pete's boat around the oceans!
The children will make treasure maps and need to use coordinates and positional language to find the treasure!
E.g move right three space and down 4 space etc...
We are also going to look at percentages and fractions and learn to find the equivalence.
Topic:
We are going to explore the Easter story and continue to find out allabout the Pirate way of life!
We are in for a 6 weeks of fabulous learning - I can not wait to see how the children write their recounts and buy things from the Pirate Pete's shop!
Please remember the doors are always open for you to pop in and see us - we do love to chat about your children and the progress they are making!
So if you have a spare 5 minutes come and see us at the end of the day!
On another note Mrs McHugh has stepped into the breach full time, however she has taken the decision to go back to part time. I am sure you will agree that Mrs McHugh has done an amazing job in Class 1.
