What an amazing week learning more about our explorers Neil Armstrong and Amelia Earhart! We have been creating our own rockets, learning about the solar system and the different theories people have about Amelia Earhart!
Each class has really enjoyed sharing pictures from their past and are fascinated by old picture qualities and black and white photos. Thank you to all families who have shared, please continue to share as we are learning about the past for the rest of this half term!
We have been learning the sounds: x, y, ff, ll, ss
You can practice the following words at home: well, will, fix, hiss, all
We have introduced a new handwriting scheme that encourages children to work on their core strength (we call it their power pack). Can your little one show you the bear, stone lion, lizard, penguin and meerkat positions?
Below you will see the letter formation that we encourage at school, please mirror this in any home practice.
In maths, we have been learning about more than, fewer than and equal! We have been comparing different objects during carpet time. Can you play a comparing game at home with your little ones? Who had more or fewer? Did you have an equal amount?
Next week, we are very excited to be learning about musicians from the past!
