Reading

Please see the letter regarding reading expectations in the front of your child’s reading diary. Please ensure your child has their reading folder in school every day.

Phonics

Practice reading, writing and sound buttons on your real and nonsense words.

In English, we have looked at a picture of a city and listened to a city. We produced a fantastic zig zag book and we linked each page to one of our sense to describe the city.

 

During Global Learning, we have learnt about when Henry VIII was King and married Catherine of Aragon and how she was linked to Buckden Towers.

 

Within Science, we have recapped the signs of Autumn and have created an Autumn tree in our books.

 

In Mathematics, we have made a fantastic start in learning our numbers to 50. We were able to fill in missing numbers on a number track and subtracted one digit numbers from a two-digit number.

On world book day we loved being in our pyjamas, having hot chocolate and a biscuit, reading our favourite books, doing a book scavenger hunt, making a book mark and watching celebrates read a book.
