Past tenses

English

This week we have been concentrating on past and present tense, using ‘+ed’ in our writing, actions and in our reading. The children have developed a great understanding for this and are growing in confidence when using the alternative verb as well as ‘ed’ as the suffix. Well done everyone!

Phonics

This week we have been concentrating on the '+ed' at the end of word. The children have matched pictures to their correct vocabulary, investigated '+ed' actions and acted these out in the classroom. They are using +ed with more fluency when reading and spelling.

Maths

We have been learning about ordinal language, using first, second, third etc. when to problem solving. The children have had to use their reading skills as well as their mathematical vocabulary to complete tasks.

Topic

This week the children have been developing their digital competence through writing about their favourite things. Thank you again for bringing in such interesting items, I have enjoyed hearing about them and why they are important to the children. We have learnt how to use ‘pic collage’ and the children have modified their text and pictures on a screen. We have all enjoyed this activity and please keep an eye out for your children’s work on display soon in the entrance to the classroom .  

The children have also been looking at a programming game- Kodable. They have shown a great interest in this and have enjoyed programming their ‘fuzzy kodable’ around a maze.

  

 

Homework

Thank you for letting children bring their 'Favourite things' to school, if they haven’t please do so as we would love to get their picture onto our display.

This week’s homework is set on using past tense. The children must identify the correct verb in its past tense and use this in sentences.

Have fun and thank you for your support with tasks and reading!
