Phonics | During the week the children will be recapping all taught codes up to date and then being introduced to the following codes: /p/ and /o/. The children will also be playing listening games where we will be hearing the first sounds within words and matching these to the appropriate code |
Maths | In Maths next week the children will be working on their problem solving skills using everyday objects. For example; counting 5 bears and then an adult hiding 3 bears in a closed hand. How many bears are missing? How do you know? These types of games are great for developing your child’s confidence when talking about early number. |
Literacy | During this week we will be sharing the story ‘The Hidden Rainbow’. The children will be looking at the important parts of plants, what they are called and how a plant grows. The children will also be widening their vocabulary through using words such as ‘roots’, ‘seeds’ and ‘grow’ to talk about what they can see. |
Inquiry | The children will be continuing to explore living things in our world. They will be looking at the steps needed to help a plant grow, planting their own seeds as well as learning about different British plants that they can spot in the local area. If you happen to go on a family walk over the weekend and spot any plants or familiar trees please do share this on tapestry the children love to share their learning with their friends. |
