This week we are reading the story 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff.' We have the characters from the story in our small world, so the children can retell the story and make the goats a bridge. What materials will they use?  Will the bridge be strong enough to hold all 3 goats?

In drawing club, we will be introducing new vocabulary such as gigantic, enormous, minuscule, tiny, stomping and grotesque. We will be drawing the goats, the troll, designing a way for the goats to cross the river and designing a perfect meal for the troll. We will use code words and sentences to make funny and amazing things happen.

In phonics, this week we will be learning our final phase 3 sound which is /air/ and we will then begin recapping all the phase 3 sounds and tricky words. I have taken all tricky word books out of your book bags and will update them this week to include the next set.  

In maths, we will be learning about height. We will be building towers, partnering up with our friends to see who is taller and who is shorter. We will then be learning about time. We will be seeing how many things we can do in one minute. We will be using sand timers to time our activities around the classroom. We will also be singing a days of the week song (i have popped the link for this at the bottom of the page) and ordering the days of the week correctly and thinking about what we do on each day of the week.
