Welcome to Willow
Week Beginning 11.5.26
This week, the children have been spotting more martians! We have used the story 'Man on the Moon: A Day in the Life of Bob' to explore the idea of Earth and the Moon...we have had lots of discussions about whether there could be life in places other than Earth!
If you would like to enjoy this story together at home, here is a link to a readaloud of the book:
We have been practising counting from a given number beyond 10 this week. The children have been challenged with counting from 7, 9, 11 and so on; we are beginning to get so much more confident in using our knowledge of ones to help us cross the tens!
Related to this, we are continuing to consolidate our knowledge of number bonds to 10 and the children are becoming more fluent with these. If needed, Mrs. Bensilum has written any focus bonds in your child's blue book, in case you want to support with them at home. If you would like to, I have popped a game below that your child can play on a tablet, phone or computer:

Have fun!
Subitising - Why It Is Important
A video which clearly explains the concept we are instilling in Maths at school. The KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) your child has brought home are also included in this page's attachments and run beautifully alongside the message you will hear in the video.
Support for Phonics at home
Please CLICK HERE for videos showing the sounds we teach in Autumn and Spring terms. There are also really handy guides to accompany what the children will be learning in school and might be useful for when the children bring home decodable reading books.
