This week we have been learning all about Remembrance. We attended a special assembly where we learned all about what Remembrance day is and why it is important. We heard from some of our friends and their parents who are in the military.
We know that Poppies are the special symbol of Remembrance and we worked hard to create our own. We used lots of different skills to create these – as you can see, some of them were created using watercolour paints, whilst some others were made using cupcake cases which we turned into a wreath.
We watched an animation about Remembrance https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/poppies and also read a poem which we used for our watercolour art.
Phonics:
These are the sounds we have been learning this week:
How you can help at home:
- Practise your child’s reading book at least three times a week and record this in their reading record
- Discuss the ever changing weather and seasonal beauty – pine cones, conkers, leaves, acorns
- Practise playing maths games – this could be dominoes, board games, puzzles or just spotting numbers on items around your house e.g. clocks, microwave, oven etc
- Visit the local library and talk to your child about their visit – can they show you how to borrow and return their books?
- Play games that involve phonics – a sound hunt around your house or garden, I spy, spotting objects in books that begin with the same sound etc
