This week our phonic focus has been the digraphs ‘oo, ou and oi’. The boys have used these to make new words and write some sentences.

 

Here you can see the boys during small group work. They are writing the new phonic sound in their Literacy books.

 

We started our Topic of Weather in earnest this week and we have been lucky to experience so many different types of weather, even snow!

The boys listened to the story ‘The Wind Blew’ by Pat Hutchins and the boys then created their own version of the story. These individual stories have been collated and placed in a wonderful class story book for all to read and share.

 

Linked with this Topic the boys have been sewing rain in EAD sessions. They have really enjoyed the challenge and are all proud of their sewing.

In Maths this week we have focused on addition. We have looked at 1 more or 2 more than a 1 or 2 digit number. The boys have been writing number sentences and they have used Numicon and cubes to help them. We have also begun to learn our number bonds to 5 and touched on number bonds to 10 as these are really useful.

 

The boys have had a virtual tour of the earth via Google Earth and today during Mr Donohoe’s assembly they were able to see the earth as Tim Peake did on his space walk.

 

All boys have now been given their log-ins to Mathletics. They have also used this software during their Computing lessons. Happy counting!

 

Have a superb weekend!
