'Where Every Heart is Sacred'

W/C 02/02/26

Literacy

This week we continue reading the story The Pet. We are using the book as a springboard to learning about how to look after pets. We will also be categorising animals into pets and 'not pets' - thinking about what makes a suitable pet.

What does a pet need to live? What makes a good pet?

Maths

In maths this week we are covering lots of different topics. We are looking at 'long' and 'short' things. We are thinking about the composition of numbers 6, 7 and 8. We are learning about ood and even numbers, and we are finding the doubles of numbers up to 8.

Phonics

Our phonics sounds this week are: ow, oi, ear, air.

Things to remember

Next week the Manchester Oral Health Team are doing a workshop for parents with tips to help you with your child's toothbrushing and looking after their teeth.

This was well-attended last year, and a great opportunity to get useful information and ask any questions you may have.
