Summer Term 1 - Glorious Gardens

Monday 20th April - Friday 24th April

Phonics

This week we have been consolidating our knowledge of the Set 2 Sounds Special friends (ay, ee, igh, ow, oo, oo, ar, or, ou, ir, air, oy). Please practise these at home with us daily alongside reading. Next Week we will be introducing the first few Set 3 Sounds. 

Writing 

This week, we continued to write our books "All About Plants". We wrote sentences about what a plant needs. 

Reading

This week we continued to read The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. We have been learning about the life cycle of a seed, exploring how seeds grow into plants and what they need to survive.

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 started our topic ‘Glorious Gardens’. We have been watching our bean seeds grow, they have now sent out their roots and shoots. We also planted cress seeds and will enjoy watching these grow over the next few days. We painted a flower and labels it different parts.
