In class we read the book ‘Flotsam’ by David Wiesner. In the story a young boy finds an old camera discarded on the beach. He decides to develop the photographs and when he looks at them he realises that the camera has taken photographs of magical underwater worlds.
Using the book as inspiration we wrote poems describing animals’ movements and sounds. Next week we will be learning about the plastic problem facing our oceans.
In maths we have been learning how to divide amounts. We have learnt that division means sharing. Using counters and pictures we have learnt how to solve division equations such as 18 divided by 2. Next week we will be learning about doubling, halving and finding a quarter.
In phonics we have been reviewing the following sounds:
ear (hear with your ear)
air (that’s not fair)
are (care and share)
ire (fire, fire)
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 have a lovely weekend,
Miss Luetchford and Mrs Sharon 🙂
