Week 5

I apologise for the lateness of this blog but the system crashed and wouldn't let me play!!!

Anyway, this week our question for learning is "Where do we live?" which is including a look at types of houses and the materials used for houses. We are linking the literacy this week with a revisit of the Three Little Pigs where we will be encouraging the children to form their first formal sentences about why the third pig's house was best! For example starting the sentence with "The brick house was best because..." rather than just starting "because..." - I hope that makes sense!?!

In number work we are ordering numbers to ten - which have been written on houses (see we are so cross-curricular!) In creative work we are building and drawing houses - both our own and those belonging to the three little pigs.

Our Ethos statement this week is "I can talk about a problem to make it better" and we have discussed problems and who we could ask for help.

To link with our topic "Marvellous Me!" we will be sending a small piece of homework home with your child this weekend which we would like you to complete together. They can draw and we would appreciate if you would help label their pictures. Thank you.
