This week in Numeracy we have been learning to count on and back in 10s, from any number to 100. We used the large hundred square in the playground, then small hundred squares on our tables. We were all fantastic at counting from zero, e.g. 0, 10, 20, etc, but found it a bit tricky when using a different starting point, e.g. 7, 17, 27. So any extra help you can give us at home would be very useful please.

In Literacy we have really been using our imaginations to create story maps and then to write our stories. There was SO much for us to remember, including an interesting setting, some characters and a problem for the ‘goody’ to solve. Then we made a long list of all of our brilliant ideas for the story opening. (Please ask your child to tell you their wonderful idea). All of this as well as linking words, capital letters, full stops, finger spaces, PHEW!     

Thank you for looking at Jupiter and Venus in the night sky with us this week to further help with our understanding of ‘Space’. Our Art work has also been based around the topic.

N.B. We need some empty cereal boxes next week only please.
