This week in maths we have learned about triangles and have been learning to recognise triangles using this song. Please practice at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wFMdKb0cz0&list=PLy7lVCqAQz8vnyy4L_AjvJHWeYiT61A8w&index=4&t=0s










English/Phonics

We have continued to read The Three Little Pigs this week and have started to learn some actions to help us remember the story. Please watch this video at home with your child and help them practice. 


We have also been deepening our understanding of the story by creating our own story maps. Next week we will start to use these to help us retell the story along with the actions.







Thai

This week in Thai we have been learning the Thai manners. We use this song every morning to help the children learn 'Sawadee'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maGSDzStA1s&list=PLy7lVCqAQz8uDzrUJ_7i4_oY00W6bE6R2&index=4&t=0s









We also did a retelling of the story The Three Little Pigs in Thai.
