This week we looked at the Nursery Rhyme Jack and Jill. We discussed the words in the Nursery Rhyme and learnt that one meaning for the word 'well' is; a deep hole dug in the ground to get water. We also learnt that 'crown' can mean the top of your head. We made our own Jack and Jill and then explored rhyming words we identified in the Nursery Rhyme. We then sorted the rhyming words into groups. We also looked at the text of Jack and Jill and identified different conventions, such as the title, capital letters, long and short words and full stops. You can see our beautiful Jack and Jill work hanging up in our room.
We looked at the Braidy tool which helps us to learn all the elements of a narrative. We then created a class narrative using the Braidy doll. We focused on the setting (when and where), characters, initiating event, actions, feelings and a conclusion. After we created our narrative we then independently retold the story using the symbols. Our focus when using oral language is to use full sentences, connect our ideas, and include greater detail.
We also helped Mrs Beale to sort all the pictures of the Nursery Rhyme back into the correct order. When then individually recited the Nursery Rhyme.
We began our phonics programme and explored the letters 's' and 'a'. We looked at our mouth formation when saying these sounds and words that start with each sound. We also wrote the sounds and looked at the directionality when writing each letter. We need to remember not to take our pencil off the page when writing the letter 'a' and which way our 's' starts.
In Mathematics we explored the concept of volume and had to identify the buckets with the least and most water in them. We then sequenced the buckets in order from full to empty.
We revised numbers to 10 and the 1-9 number sequence. We are using this knowledge to develop our skills when identifying numbers before and after.
