We have been continuing to revise our phase 3 graphemes. Today we focused on the /oo/ digraph. This can make two sounds. A long sound and a short sound this is explained in the video below.

After watching the videos we tired to read and write some of the words by ourselves.

Extra challenge: Can you children write these sentences?

I can zoom to the moon.

I can look at a book.

Today we have revised the /ear/ and /air/ trigraphs.

Below there are some videos about these sounds for you to practise at home. Can you read an spell words containing these sounds? Can you read or write a caption or sentence?

Today we have started a new Maths Block. We will begin learning about time. This includes:

• daily routines
• days of the week
• language of time for example first, next, last, after that
• Introduction to time (How many lego bricks can you place in a tower in 1min, 2min, 3 mins etc)
• Beginning to think about clocks measuring time (o’clock times)

Today the children completed a ‘Blast Off’ to find out what they already know. Next we will learn about this and at the end of this block we will do a ‘Touch Down’ to see how far our learning has come.

What a fun time we had today.   Investigating a class room crime.   The children came in from outside to find the classroom had been destroyed.  How shocked they all were.  They quickly got to work discussing what could of happened and how we need to go about it.  They learned all about checking for suspects and proving it wasn’t them.  Then this afternoon we followed clues to figure out who the real culprit was before going to look inside a real police van and telling them all about our day.
