In another busy week children have planned and written their very own lost toy stories accompanied by some fantastic illustrations. Our stories were inspired by the new book we looked at called ‘Dogger’. A story of a little boy, his lost toy and his big sister.
In maths the children have been learning all about subtraction. They were introduced to Meanie Minus and his gang of take away pals. Children have learnt about what happens to a number when you use the subtraction symbol and how this is written in number sentences. We also learnt that subtraction is the inverse operation to addition. We will be continuing learning about this in the coming week.
In PE children have been working on their throwing and catching skills. Over the last couple of weeks we have talked about great methods to ensure you can catch a bean bag successfully and we are now trying to apply our learning to catching sponge tennis balls. The class identified possible challenges that might affect their catching ability such as the ball being round and likely to roll or bounce away!
This week children will be looking more at old and new toys so please keep sending them into class.
Also tomorrow I will be sending home a trip letter that will form part of our next project after half term. As the trip is in the first week back I would like to try and get all the trip letters back before Friday. Your help with this would be really appreciated.
Finally, a couple of weeks ago a letter was sent home about headlice. Unfortunately it seems the little hair loving critters are still at large! In order to try and evict them from our class please keep checking and where necessary treating your child’s hair. Another reminder letter will be in book bags this week.
See you all tomorrow.
