Week 8

What a fantastic week we have had. The children enjoyed our dance lesson at the end of the week and I got to see lots of smiling faces at the school disco.

This week our sound of the week was the f sound made by f, ff and ph. This proved to be quite a challenge, with many students mixing it up with the th sound. I felt we would be best to work on this sound for an extra week rather than moving on, so we will have another week of f sounds. It has been wonderful to see how far the children have progressed with their writing skills and most are now more than happy to have a go at writing by themselves. Our focus is moving towards punctuation, editing and ensuring we have the correct letter size and our writing is on the correct line.

In Maths we continue our work on subtraction and improving our knowledge of the number facts to 10.
