LITERACY

Book Focus: Aliens love underpants by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort

Phonics: Assisted blending to decode cvc words with the following sounds: /s/a/t/p/i/n/m/d/g/o/c/k/ck.  Please use the video above for extra practice.  Your child will bring home a list of words to decode. Please keep these at home and practise daily decoding.

MATHS:

• To practise number formation

• To develop quick recognition of quantities up to 5 by looking at arrangements of these quantities. This is known as subitizing – see video above

• To count on from a given number to find the answer when adding two single-digit numbers using quantities and objects

• To say the number that is one more than a given number.

Understanding the world: To discuss the celebrations that occur in December and how different people in the world celebrate. We will talk about the significance of the Advent calendar for some Christians.

Expressive Arts and design: This week the children will continue to practise the four songs that the children will perform to you on Tuesday 11 December 2018. [/dropshadowbox]
