Week beginning 2/2/15

RE

We will recall our work on our families who care for us and those who care for us when our family isn’t there. People who help us in school, Parish and wider community.
We will talk about names we have heard of people who were friends with Jesus and talk about the call of the disciples.
Why did Jesus choose them? What did they do?  Who did they help? Some of them were saints because they were such special helpers. We’ll listen to the story of the Feeding of the Five Thousand from the Bible and think about how Jesus cared for others in the community and talk about the term ‘miracle’ as a way of describing what Jesus did.
We are going to role play different occupations in our community e.g. priest, shopkeeper, fire fighter, police officer, doctor, nurse and share Wednesday Word/stories from the Bible
Communication, language and literacy
This week’s story is “The Three Little Pigs”. We will read the story together, retell, draw and write about what happened. We will hear, say and write the sounds in words and learn how to write high frequency words e.g. he, the, and. We are going to play the game “Buried Treasure” matching CVC words (and words with sh/ch) and make new words, listen to/say first sounds of different objects. We will practice forming our letters correctly.
Mathematics
We will focus on addition using a car park and cars as our activity. We will use the language of addition e.g. more, add, How many now? double.
