Our learning this week

This week we are going to be learning about...

• measuring
• developing our writing

We will be learning...

• to use words like tall, taller, tallest, short, shorter, shortest to compare the height and length of objects
• to use non-standard units of measurement to measure the height and length of things, for example, cubes or bricks
• to recognise different tools used for measuring such as rulers or tape measures
• to improve our pencil grip
• to form letters correctly
• to meet our own personal targets for writing, whether it's mark making, writing our name, sounding out words or spelling tricky words correctly

You can help me at home by...

• talking to me about the height or size of different things and modelling mathematical language, e.g taller than
• helping me develop my pencil grip when I am drawing or writing
• modelling how to form letters and encouraging me to practise writing at home
• playing games and doing activities that involve writing

We would also appreciate any examples of children showing this month's value of 'unity'
