This term our topic is Journeys. Our focus book this week was Handa’s Surprise.

Here is what we have been up to:

This week we learnt all about

In Literacy we recapped our red words the,a,I,of,he,go,to,my,was,you,we,they,she,have,all,are,have,said and remembered that sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop. This week we learnt how to write the red word ‘her’. We wrote about the fruit in Handa’s Basket.

Please continue to read 5 times a week with your children and work on set 1 or 2 sounds as well as word time words (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc).

We then wore them to dance to some African music.
