This week the children were introduced to the topic of ‘Transport’. We have talked about road safety and different forms of transport, which included making comparisons about types of transport around the world. The children were inspired to imagine, create and paint their own vehicles.
During ICT the children engaged in an interactive game where they were required to identify the initial sounds in words, this activity allowed the children to continue to develop their mouse skills. In Maths Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk left the children a letter, setting them a problem to solve. The children had to identify which container would be most suitable for him to carry all of his magic beans in.
We have also explored the concept of capacity and discussed different volumes of liquid, which include quarter full, half full, three quarters full and full.
We ended the week by looking at 3D and 2D shapes and making comparisons between them.
This week we have sent out some reading guidance and your child’s first set of High Frequency Words (HFW). We are hoping to send out library books and ‘free choice’ books for the children next week, so look for these.
