Phonics
In Phonics this week, we have been learning the sounds /a/ /e/ /i/ /o/ /u/ in more complex words (CCVCC words) such as drank, slump, spent, twist etc. Please feel free to continue to practice these with your child by building the words together and then using them in a sentence.

In English this week, we have learnt actions and have enjoyed retelling a new Traction Man story. We invented new and exciting characters to use in our writing next week. We have drawn images of our new characters and written captions describing who they are and what they are doing.

Science
In Science, we explored the uses of wind. We looked at wind turbines and even made our own wind sock for outdoors. We had a great time discussing the different directions the wind moves in and how we can use the wind to help us in our everyday life.
Next Week
In Phonics next week, we will continue to build CCVCC words with /a/e/i/o/u/. We will also revisit the /sh/ (shop) and /ck/ (black) sound.
In English next week, we will be writing an adventure story based on Traction Man but using our new characters. Our focus will be using capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Please see the sheet for extra practice Capital letters and Full Stops
In Maths next week, we will be looking at how a whole can be represented as one object.
