Autumn 1 -  All About Me

Monday 20th - 24th October

Phonics

This week we have learnt the sound 'o' 'c', 'k' and 'u'. We have learnt to read and write each sound using the letter formation rhymes as well as orally blending words containing these. Please practise these sounds at home as we will move on next week to learn 4 more sounds.

Reading

This week we finished reading 'The Invisible String'. We have thought about who is connected to us through our own invisible string and have talked about family members and friends.

Writing 

This week, we finished our unit of writing 'All About My Family' we drew and added labels to the people in our families.

Maths

This week we finished the unit of work in Maths which focused on the numbers 1, 2 and 3. We have explored finding one more and one less, and have thought about this with larger numbers, through songs such as '5 currant buns'. We have thought about the composition of number too. For example, the number 3 is made up of a 2 and a 1, or a 1, a 1 and another 1.

Big Picture

This week we finished our topic 'All About Me'. We have been reading the story "The Colour Monster" which is a story all about exploring different emotions. We have been talking about things that make us happy, calm, angry, Sad & Scared.
