Our central idea:

People Learn and Care for Others

Next week our focus text will be

Learning about the story ‘The Gruffalo’.We will be relating this to our Learner Profile Attribute of being a ‘Risk taker!’ We will be learning how to sequence the story by making story maps as well as identifying rhyming words throughout. We will be making our very own Gruffalo biscuits by following instructions carefully! Yum!

Phonics

We will be learning the codes /p/ and /n/ and the sounds they make. We will be learning how to apply this into reading and writing by reading and writing words containing the sounds.

Maths

Our number story of the week is ‘4’. We will be learning about the composition of this number and identifying numbers which make 4. We will be learning to subitise 4 as well as count and order numbers to 10.

Literacy

We will be learning how to hold a tool for writing. We will be writing the words taught in our phonics sessions as well as writing about the characters in the Gruffalo as well as writing words about nocturnal animals.
