We have been reading the book The Hundred Decker Rocket.
This story is about a girl called Ivy who sets off on a mission to space. On the way, she meets some very messy aliens. When her rocket breaks down, all the aliens help to fix it and make their own deck.
Top tip for watching YouTube with your child: go to the settings cog along the play bar and turn off autoplay – this avoids an inappropriate clip coming up automatically, and helps to discourage your child from passively watching clip after clip.
We have designed our own ‘Hundred Decker Rockets’ with a deck each.
“Mine needs a swimming pool so we can all go swimming!”
“I’m going to have unicorns and yummy food!”
PE
We were lucky enough to get outside in the sunshine at the beginning of the week for our PE. We’ve been working on our ball skills with early games of ‘Mouse Trap’
Phonics
We’ve been recapping the digraphs we’ve learnt previously, looking at longer words we may have to chunk such as ‘farm/yard’ or ‘sun/set’. Chunking mean breaking the word into smaller parts (chunks) to help children read it more easily.
Maths
We found lots of different ways to represent number 7 and number 8 this week. We even explored the different parts to 7 and 8.
Help at home
Ask you child to find a way to represent 7 or 8 at home. They might count out 8 Lego pieces.
