Sight Words

We ask that you do not mark the children's sight word books.  We will mark the books each week.  Could you please ensure to continually go over all the popcorn words, even the ones that are marked as known, as children forget very quickly.  Thank you for your cooperation.



Workshops
This week our big book in reading workshops was The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Ask your child why the very hungry caterpillar felt sick?  In reading and writing workshops we have explored the letters v and z and phonologically, we are learning to segement and blend CVC words.  In Maths workshops we are learning about the number 1 and its name (one). Our investiagtion this week has been using positional language in our playground.  Ask your child where did Rosie go?

Unit Work

We are working on our English Unit 'Who is it?'  Each week we will write three clues about our character of the week and share them on Twitter. Did you guess our character this week?  We explored the season of Spring in Science and created some amazing art work.  Look on Twitter for photos of our creations.

Religion

We have started our unit Hereos of the Bible.  This week we looked at the story of Joseph and why he is a hero.

Our Value this week is Perseverance.
