Class 1 weekly roundup

This week the children have continued to use the Gingerbread Man story as a basis for their maths work.

This week we have focussed on the number 6, the children have found different ways to partition 6 objects and then recalled the corresponding addition and subtraction facts.

Phonics:

The children have revised all the sounds taught so far and our new sound this week was: ‘ee’ – What can you see?

ee

The children have also been busy writing short sentences and some children have begun to independently write their own sentences and read them back.

Maths:

This week the class have looked at one and two less.  We linked our Maths to our story of the Gingerbread Man.   We used sentences – If Counting Caterpillar eats 2  buttons, there will be 2 less.  2 less than 5 is 3,  etc.  We sang  a Gingerbread Man song – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCZ3dzFK6BI
