This week in Dexter class

This week we will be learning the sounds j, v, w and x and will be focused on using all the sounds that we have learned to blend for reading and segment for spelling. The children will also learn to read the tricky words he, me, we and be.

In maths, we are looking at money and will be beginning some simple addition. The children will go on to complete the first of the rapid recall challenges (the three club) using apparatus to help them combine two groups to find a total.

We will continuing with our focus child approach and will be talking and learning about areas of interest that have been bought up by the children. This makes their learning exciting and relevant and we have already enjoyed hearing about dinosaurs and other countries. We hope to have some special visitors on Thursday, to help with our understanding of 'people who help us', as part of our work in PSHE. On Friday, the children will be able to dress in their pajamas in order to raise money for Children in Need.
