Home readers will be chnaged for the last time this Friday. They will be collected next Tuesday to ensure all resources are returned to the Library. Thank you for your cooperation.
LAST WEEK FOR POPCORN 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. Popcorn words will not be checked after week 7. We encourage you to continue working with your child throughout the holidays, to ensure they remember the words at the beginning of Year 1!

Workshops
Our big book this week was The Noisy Monkey. Ask your child why was Monkey noisy? In reading and writing workshops we have explored the 'it' word family and phonologically, we are learning to blend our letters to make new sounds. We will have a strong focus on this skill for the remainder fo the year. The children will refer to this as using our Chunky Monkey, to help sound out (decode) and write words. In Maths workshops we are learning about the number 5 and its name (five. Our investigation this week has been based on the story 'One is a Snail and Ten is a Crab'. The children will investigate the language of addition and how small numbers can be used to make larger numbers.

Religion
This week we started to explore the Infancy Narraitve from the Gospel of Matthew. We have spent time looking at the key characters and events. We will make a christmas card to show our learning from the Gospel of Matthew.
Unit Work
This week we shared our special celebration photos. The children named the celebration, explained something they did on the day and why it was important to their family.
Our Value this week is hope.
