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.
