St Piran Newsletter – 5th May 2017
This week we have continued our learning about the senses. Gida’s mummy came to visit us with her guide dog, Penny. The children thought of lots of great questions to ask and found out that Penny is working when her handle is up, so we shouldn’t try to stroke her. They also found out that Penny has to stay really healthy so she can best look after Gida’s mummy so we shouldn’t ever try to give her extra food incase she gets tummy ache!
This was a fantastic learning opportunity – thank you very much Mrs Wilson.
This week we have learnt ‘wh’, ‘ue’, and ‘aw’. Next week it will be ‘ph’, ‘ew’, ‘oe’.
For Home learning this week I would like the children to order the numbers in their books.
For an extra challenge:
Write down the biggest number and the smallest number you can make out of 1 and 9 (eg. 19 or 91). Repeat giving your child other digits to play with.
- Say the numbers with your child.
- Look carefully at the first digit (the tens) in each number to help decide if the number is bigger or smaller than another.
