Bear Hunt

Our focus book has been We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen. We have used a story map to retell the story. See if your children can retell it to you at home.

Phonics

We have been introduced to ‘s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u and r’ next week we will learn ‘h, b, f and l’. The children are all working really hard on their ‘blending’ skills. This is where they blend the phonemes (sounds) together in a word. For example we might ask; Can you point to the b-u-s?

Help at home; games like I spy are great for phonic awareness, can they name things that start with the right sound?

Reading

All e books are set up, please let us know if you can’t see this week’s book. After school is the best time to catch us as we have responsibility for the whole class first thing on a morning.

Finally, here’s a snapshot of some of our fantastic independent learning this week.
