Peace at last
This week we are going to focus our literacy learning on Peace at Last by Jill Murphy. Today we are going to listen to the story and compare the rooms, characters and sounds within the story.
You could share the book or listen to it on the YouTube clip.
We are learning to read and understand simple sentences. If you are gold standard (pink or red 2A) you are beginning to read the words and sentences. If you are green standard (red 2B or yellow) you are focusing on sounding out the words and reading the sentences. Do you understand the simple sentences?

Ordering and exploring numbers within 15
In this lesson, we will begin to introduce ordinal numbers and explore patterns of numbers within 15.
You will notice that you need the map for Old Mother Hubbard. You could create this map by drawing the different places.
To follow up the activity today can you explore what happens if you use different amounts of cubes/objects? Which numbers are odd and which ones are even?

This is the link to the video.

3. Practice reading and writing these words. Use your imagination, how can you write them? Use feltips, write them in shaving foam, make them out of dough. Put them somewhere you will see them so you can learn them.

This morning we are being Historians.
Peepo is a story set in the past, when some of your grandparents or great grandparents were children. We are going to find out how things were the same and different. Look at each illustration and find things that were different in the past. Add pictures and labels to your storymap and talk about what you use today.
I’ve looked at the laundry room. I don’t have a laundry room, my clothes are washed in the kitchen. I can see a kettle on the fire and clothes on a clothes horse. In my kitchen, the washing machine makes the water hot and I have a tumble dryer.

We have had lots of fun in the snow this morning.
