Week 1 - ai a digraph with a single phoneme

# data[].attributes.body
we looked at the digraph ai and its phoneme.

We wrote and segmented some words (a dot for a single letter phoneme, a line for a two letter phoneme)

We sounded out the words, then we stuck the phonemes together like lego!

We also learned three hard words that don't follow phonetic rules he, she and the.

We looked at Pablo Picasso's art, and talked about how he tried to show feeling through the use of different colours. Here is his rose period. The colours he chose showed happiness.

Week 1 - Adjectives and sentence structure

# data[].attributes.body
In our work today, after we had changed our story to Goldenlegs and the three Leaf Insects, we wrote sentences that contained an adjective that described the leaf insect family. We made sure that full stops and capital letters were easy to see!

We looked at ways that we could represent numbers - and showed that we could use a picture to represent tens and units.

How do we draw a number to see how big it really is?

We draw boxes that contain a quantity - each hundred has a big box, each ten has a smaller box, and each unit is drawn on its own.

Try it at home!

In CE1C, our story took an interesting turn. I was the boy climbing into the leaf bug's tree!

We used the colours of happiness to make a really vibrant, happy picture.

# data[].attributes.body
After showing what happy colours could do in a painting, Picasso became sad, and his paintings changed. We noticed that the people were blue and green and yellow and they were very dark.

# data[].attributes.body
We made a drawing of a very sad person. Their face could be blue or green or yellow or a mixture of colours. We also looked at where to place features on a face.

# data[].attributes.body
We looked at Prague from above - photographs taken by an aeroplane. We used https://dveprahy.cz/ to see how the area of the school had changed over the years. We will be drawing maps of the area in groups.

We had out first test of phonic knowledge in CE1b. Most children got 7 words correct, but tricky words are still tricky - he, she and the need to be relearned (some children were using the Czech I phoneme and grapheme correlation in he and she. In English, he, the and she are words that don't follow phonic rules unfortunately)

We looked at the brand new way Picasso started to paint people, at first like a child would, then looking at a face from the front and the side at the same time!

Here, Valentina has shown a lovely use of colour, and how Picasso drew eyes both from the front, and from the side. Well done!

# data[].attributes.body
When we want to find the difference between two numbers, we can use a numberline to help us. We find out what the nearest ten is to the starting number, then jump the number of units we need to reach it. Then we find out how many tens we need to each the final number.

# data[].attributes.body
When we tell our stories about three animals, we have to use the plural form of the noun.

mummy unicorn - three unicorns

baby bear - three bears

This is usually easy in English - add an s!

but there are words to remember and we will be looking at words that end in x

daddy fox - three foxes

And words that end in f

mummy leaf - three leaves
