We had lots of fun at our Christmas Fair.

Literacy
This week we will be writing letters to Santa. We will try and include all of the features we looked at last week. We will also be focussing on our handwriting.
We need to be careful to make sure we form our letters correctly, starting and finishing in the correct places.

This week we are working on:
-Naming 3d shapes (Cube, cuboid, sphere, cylinder, cone, pyramid)
-Naming 2d shapes (Triangle, circle, square, rectangle)
-Making patterns using shapes
We will be working from pages 119-133 in our Power Maths books.

We will be consolidating the phase 5 sounds we have learned and using these to read and write.
Please remember to listen to your child read. Please use there Oxford Owl log on to access more reading books at their level if needed.
