This week, the question we will be exploring is: 

• What vehicles travel on land?

We will be talking about all the vehicles we see with wheels... Such as vans, lorries, cars, motorbikes, emergency vehicles etc. See what you can spot when out and about!

We will be sharing this brilliant story: You can't take an Elephant on the Bus. Have a listen at home:

We will also be singing and learning the makaton signs for the song 'The Wheels on the Bus'... We will also be making up our own version of the song with the vehicles we find out about... E.g tractor, car, van, lorry.

Here are some activity ideas you could try at home linked to out topic: 

The F2's have totally blown us away in their RWI sessions last week! Hopefully they are impressing you  with their speedy sounds at home!

This week we will be learning to read and write these sounds:

 

We will learn a sound each day and the new sound cards will be put into book bags to practise at home. The children could always have a go at the letter formation too, if they are feeling extra clever! Saying the handwriting saying as they write (e.g. i - down the body, dot for the head). This doesn't have to be using pen and paper.... It could be chalking outside, drawing in bubbles in the bath, using paintbrushes & water, sticks in the mud... The possibilities are endless! 

• We will be making box-modelled vehicles next week. If you have any recycling at home that might be useful... Small cardboard boxes, yoghurt pots, milk bottle tops etc. Thanks in advance!
• (F2) We are still a few PE kits short in school- if PE kits could be in school for PE on Thursday that would be great (black shorts, red t-shirt and plimsolls or trainers). We can keep PE kits in school and send them home every half-term to be washed. Any practise getting changed at home independently is hugely appreciated! 
• A huge well done to everyone reading at home and signing your diaries! Remember to tick off a number on the bronze reward page at the back of your diaries each time you share a story/practise your speedy sounds... You are well on your way to getting your bronze awards! 🌟📚🎉🤸‍♂️ (Remember Blaze's Reading Lair counts as an entry too!)
