Term 1 Week 3

This week in English and Communication we have read the book 'Toby and the Great Fire of London'. We stopped at the point in the story where Toby looked out upon the city and realised it was on fire. We then set about collecting noun phrases and adjectives that we can use to create sentences which describe the fire. 

In Guided Reading we started reading The Tin Forest. In Phonics we began to revisit level 5 sounds. If you would like to practise your Level 5 sounds please see the document attached to this post. 

In Maths, we have continued to focus on Place Value. We wrote numbers in their expanded forms and learnt how to use 10s and 1s on number lines. 

In Science and Computing we focussed on the applications of Information Technology in school. We then used Information Technology to learn more about the Great Fire of London. 

We will also complete Mastering Number, PE, and RE sessions as well. 

If you have any questions relating to these activities or any other matter relying to the learning in Beech Class, please do not hesitate to contact us via the class email address.

Term 1 Week 2

In English and Communication this week, we are going to focus on the wonderful wordless text- 'The Tree and the River' by Aaron Becker. We are going to focus on two contrasting scenes from the book and create descriptive sentences to accompany Becker's wonderful illustrations. We will focus on creating grammatically sound sentences that use adjectives to create expanded noun phrases. 

In Phonics, we are going to quickly revisit all of the Phase 3 sounds and tricky words that children learnt in Yr1. If you want to do some extra phonics learning at home this week, we have attached all the Level 2 and Level 3 sounds to this post for you to revisit. 

In Maths, we are focusing on Place Value. We are going to support pupils to read, write, build and partition numbers upton 100. If you would like to focus on these skills at home this week, try watching the following Home Learning videos:

In Science and Computing, we are exploring how Information Technology is used in our everyday life. Information Technology can be defined as a computer or something that works alongside a computer. Why not challenge your child to go on an Information Technology hunt around your house. What examples of Information Technology do you and your family use? 

We will also complete Guided Reading, Mastering Number, PE and RE lessons as well. If you would like to know more about these activities or any other matter relating to your child's learning, please contact us using the class email address:
