This week we started our new class text ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’.
In the story we met an industrious lighthouse keeper called ‘Mr Grinling’ whose lunch kept being stolen by some pesky seagulls. We learnt about the jobs Mr Grinling had to do and wrote an explanation text explaining how to be a lighthouse keeper.
In maths we have been learning how to order and partition numbers within 100. We used dienes to show how many tens and ones were in a 2 digit number.
In science we have started our new topic ‘Materials’. We sorted materials into a Venn diagram.
In R.E we have started our new unit’ What Responsibility has God Given us to Look after the Earth?’. In class we read the Creation Story and wrote down parts of the story we found puzzling. We then walked to St Matthew’s Church where Mother Helen and Father Alistair showed us the parts of the church and answered our questions.
This week in phonics we have been reviewing the following sounds:
ea (cup of tea)
ee (what can you see?)
ir (whirl and twirl)
There are words containing these sounds for the children to practise available on the Spelling Shed website: https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login
We hope you had a lovely (hopefully dry) weekend watching the England match,
Miss Luetchford and Mrs Sharon 🙂
