This week Opal class have been so busy we haven’t had time to post!

In English we have been learning and writing historical facts about Captain Scott – it would be great if they wanted to continue researching his story and bringing in any facts they want to share! We have also been reading Tom Crean’s rabbit, a true story about a team mate on Captain Scott’s expedition. Today we tried the tomato soup that they had for Christmas dinner on the Terra Nova and wrote a lovely description about it.

In Maths, we have been solving missing number sums such as, 1 + __ = 20 with numicon. We have also been solving ones with higher numbers by ‘counting on’ on a hundred square (you can find these online for free). Children could continue to practise these at home along with counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s as well as practising counting backwards and filling in number sequences like 37, 36, 35, __,__,__.

Please continue reading and recapping phase 3 and phase 5 sounds. Also, asking lots of questions about what is going on is a great way to check your child fully understands what they are reading.

Thanks for your continued support! Have a nice weekend!
