Phonics
This week we have been working on our Set 3 Sounds. We have continued to embed the sounds:-
- i-e – smile
- o-e – home
- u-e – cube
- aw – yawn
Please practice reading and writing these sounds at home.
Writing
This week, we have continued writing our books "All About Picnics". We have been writing sentences about the things we will pack for a picnic.
Reading
This week in we have been reading Gift of the Sun by Dianne Stewart. The children have really enjoyed joining in with the story and looking at the beautiful illustrations. We have been talking about kindness, sharing, and how helping others can make people feel happy. The children especially loved learning about the sunflower seeds and watching how something small can grow into something wonderful.
Maths
This week we continued with the White Rose Maths: Counting beyond 10. We have been focusing on counting numbers beyond 10, helping the children to recognise numbers, count objects accurately, and develop a deeper understanding of quantity.
Big Picture
This week we have continued with our topic ‘Glorious Gardens’. We have been watching our sunflower just like the sunflower in 'The Gidt of the Sun' . We have been looking at looking at the parts of the plant we can eat - the roots, stem, leaves and the fruit and the flower. We thought about what we would take on a picnic ready for out food DT activities next week.
