Journey

When we came back after half term, we looked at the book Journey by Aaron Becker.  The whole school were focusing on this wordless picture book and we really enjoyed working out what the story was and predicting what might happen to the main character.

We began the week by going through our own imaginary door (like the girl in the book) and drawing the imaginary world we could see.

We then used these images as inspiration to write our own stories of going on a journey through an imaginary world - we came up with problems we had to overcome too!

Helping at Home

Ways to help at home

  • Read every day
  • Practise your spellings and common exception words
  • As you read spot the sounds in words, can you find digraphs (two letters that make one sound) and trigraphs (three letters that make one sound)?
  • Count in 2s, 5s and 10s forwards and backwards
  • Learn your number bonds for all numbers to 20 (e.g number bonds to 7 are 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, etc.)
  • Practise telling the time to the hour, quarter past, half past, quarter to and as an extra challenge to 5 minute intervals (five past, ten past etc.)
  • Practise letter formation using the correct pencil grip and develop fine motor skills (peg pressing, picking pasta shells/rice with tweezers)
