Despite the weather, we made it to the end of the week with every child still on the ground. At one point we thought about getting the parachute out during Forest School, but we decided that could end with Hedgehog Class flying away across Milton Keynes. So we didn't.
Our mantle story.
In our story, the villagers finally set out with Queen Matilda on their quest to help her to establish a new kingdom. Unfortunately, it was soon discovered that a stranger was in our midst. The queen was concerned that she could not recognise who was one of her new knights, and who was not. She told the villagers about knights' coats of arms, which meant that the children's main project this week has been creating their own shields with our own coats of arms on them, complete with an animal to represent them.
Maths:
Reception children finished work on one more and one less. They also recapped number bonds to 6.
To practice number bonds to 6, you can play this game (you may have seen it before).
Year 1 children continued work on fractions. They are learning that to make half they need two equal groups and to find quarters they need four equal groups.
To practice this, complete this sheet. Your child will need objects to do this - first count out the correct number of objects, then share into halves or quarters, then complete the sheet. A good tip is to find a piece of paper, fold it into halves or quarters, then share out the objects between them. For an extra challenge, they could write a matching sentence using the 1/2 or 1/4 symbols, such as 1/2 of 8 is 4.
Phonics and Spellings:
Reception children continue to recap phase three digraphs. You can practice them using flashcards here.
They have also been looking at cvcc words - words with a consonant blend at the end such as bump, help best, vest. You can practice these by playing this game.
Year 1 children have moved onto spelling lists with i_e and o_e in. Please practice these for the spelling challenge next week. Here they are!
