Hello!

This week the children have been identifying tens and ones in a teen number, representing teen numbers with numerals and using numicon and rekenreks to show teen numbers. You might like to use this interactive rekenrek to make teen numbers with one ten and extra ones.

In Talk 4 Writing we have been learning to retell the story of The Three Little Pigs. We have created a whole class story map to support the children with writing their own versions of the story. The children have used their phonic knowledge to write sections of story using key vocabulary. We have been very impressed with the children’s writing! They have all been very eager to rewrite their own version of the story and have shown brilliant perseverance.

Next week in maths we will recap number bonds to 5 and make numbers within 10 using the 5 and a bit structure.

In Understanding the World, we will be thinking of where Farsley is in the world. This is something you can be chatting about at home. Using Google Earth is a great tool for looking at the world and identifying where England is. We will be learning about maps and how they are representations of a place. The children will be learning about simple symbols that represent places on a map. You could discuss your child’s journey to school and the places they pass on the way.

Just a reminder to apply suncream before school and make sure your child has their sunhat and water each day if the forecast is going to be sunny and warm.

Have a lovely weekend.
