Summer 1 week 1
Friday 21st April
Dear Parents/Carers,
This week we have learnt about Ramadan and Eid. We have made prayer mats in EAD and Maths. In Literacy, we have had the following focus texts:
‘Ramadan’ by Hannnah Eliot and
‘Oi Frog’ by Kes Gray
We have also been studying seasonal change in Science. We have read the text ‘The Things I Love About Trees’ by Chris Butterworth.
We have also used the following link so children can learn about time passing. Which is a mathematical and scientific concept.

In mathematics, we have been learning about ‘result unknown’ problems up to five, by counting with objects, e.g. ‘You have two tomatoes and get one more. How many are there altogether?’ (Counts out two, then one and then counts all three.)
HOMEWORK
Please gather a group of items together. This can be a group of anything, Cheerios, dry pasta shapes, dolls, Lego etc. Please send me any photos of this activity for your child’s Learning Journey at the address below. Try out some ‘result unknown’ problems.
I have also put in an A3 sheet into your child’s home/school book for pre-writing skills. We are going to use these for a display, so please return by next Thursday.
Kind Regards
S. Van Cook
