Week beginning 23rd January

Please note that we will be completing phonic and reading checks next week so we may not have time to hear all of the children read. Thank you for your support with this. In English this week we have been reading the traditional tale The Three Little Pigs. The children have been acting out the story- being pigs, wolves, bricks, straw and sticks! We have read different versions of the story and talked about the similarities and differences. We have also talked about the beginning, middle and end of the story. The children then became illustrators and authors and retold the story of The Three Little Pigs. In maths this week we have been learning about capacity. We have been looking at containers which are full, nearly full, half full or empty, nearly empty and empty; estimating and measuring the capacity of different sized containers; reading scales in millilitres. Please remember that if you have visited any where in the United Kingdom we would love the children to bring in a photograph and share this with us so that we can add it to our map of the United Kingdom.
