 A week of 'The Gingerbread man'

We have had a wonderful time designing, making, printing, smelling and acting out aspects of the Gingerbread man.

In cooking this week we had to make and eat a gingerbread man of course. We looked at the ginger root.

In phonics we are writing simple sentences and thinking of describing characters.

e.g ' The thin man

The man was fast.

In math's work we have been using the language lighter, heavier, empty, full, mass and  looking at capacity of beakers.

We have been reading our book bag books a lot this week as we have been blessed with two students for the last two weeks. We will be down to 1 next week then 0.

Its makes such a difference reading little and often.

Please make sure your children recognise ch sh th (chip chop, sheep ship, thin, thick) digraphs and find them in words then they can progress onto the red book. Please come and see us if you are unsure.

Next week we are learning about Chinese New Year.

Please watch the clips on 'Microsoft Team's for pre-learning.

Here are a few highlights.

Weighing and measuring - words we used light, heavy, mass.

Reading using 'special friend' green words as a warm up.
