We have begun the new topic of People Who Help Us this week. We have looked at links between lots of different people, their jobs and how they help us. We have been looking at people who help us at home and at school. We talked about our parents and other grown ups who are at home, teachers at school, lollipop ladies/men, cleaners and Mr Murray our site manager. We also introduced the song we will be learning.
In Maths, we explored numicon 1-5 and matched to the correct numerals. We have played numicon hunt, numicon bingo and numicon and numeral match. During Phonics we have been listening for the initial sounds in words and trying to Fred Talk simple words. e.g. cow...c-ow. dog...d-o-g
We have also begun a whole school reading challenge, reading books to earn ‘reading miles’. Each book a child reads is worth 500 miles and the aim is to read enough books to ‘travel’ around the world. We will add star stamps to each child’s passport when we read a book in school, if they read in the reading area or if they read a book at home. If you read with your child at home let us know and we can add a stamp and keep them moving on their reading journey.
Home Learning
At home with your Little Owl you can:
*get your Owl to help you with something at home.

Please feel free to tweet any home learning or you can put pictures or drawings of any activities your Owl has done in their purple books so we can share in class.
