Maths 

This week, the children have been combining two groups to find how many altogether. They have been give lots of opportunities using real objects and in different contexts to explore and apply the skills they have learnt. In class we have used a part-whole model to help the children to understand the relationships between a number and its component parts. The part-whole models helps to illustrate the building blocks of mathematics in a way that children will understand and remember.

How to support your child this week at home.

Literacy

In literacy this week, we have continued with the story Goldilocks and the three bears.   The Early Years Curriculum requires children in reception to be able to articulate their ideas using well formed sentences.  The children have been articulating their ideas in their writing by writing letters to the three bears. They have also been retelling their own version of the traditional tale.  We have seen some great retell's this week. Great work reception!

Key Vocabulary: Goldilocks, three bears, Baby Bear, Mummy Bear, porridge, bed, chair, sleep, hot.

Art

Linking in with our Topic, the children have made their own bear to go in to their special books. 

The collaged the pieces of brown paper for the bear's fur and added on some ears and then drew on their bear's face.  

The children are making good progress in Read, Write, Inc. We would like to thank you for all your continued support at home with your child's reading. Please continue to read daily with them and bring their reading folders into school on their reading day.  If you are unsure of their reading day, please check with their class teacher.
