Literacy
We’ve been predicting what Bob, the main character, does on the moon and exploring his emotions. The children have been using ‘because’ to extend their ideas in writing.

Maths
Our focus has been fact families to 20 and finding the difference—a tricky concept for many, so I’ve set home learning to support this. either on edshed or below, I have attached four questions to practise. 

Phonics
Please help your child spot these patterns in their reading books:
• ‘tch’ (match, catch, fetch)
• ‘ture’ (adventure, picture, nature)
• ‘al’ (half, calf, palm)
• ‘a’ (father, mask, branch)
New tricky words: because and eye.

Art – The children created fantastic alien pictures inspired by our Literacy book—check out Instagram to see them!

History – We loved sharing books from home and learning about the moon and Neil Armstrong.

Thank you for your continued support!
