Spring 2 - Tails and Trotters 

Monday 23rd March - Friday 27th March

Phonics

This term we have been working on consolidating our knowledge of the Set 1 special friend sounds (sh, ch, th, qu, ng, nk, qu) and we have also been learning the Set 2 sounds (ay, ee, igh, ow, oo, oo, ar, or, ou, ir, air, oy). Please practise these at home with us daily alongside reading.

Writing 

This week, we finished writing our stories' All About Dogs' with sentences about what they need to be looked after properly. We have written about a dog needing a soft bed.

Reading

This week we have read lots of farm books to help us develop our understanding of life on a farm. We have focused on stories such as 'What the Ladybird Heard'.

Maths

We have been focusing on numbers 9 and 10. We have learnt about composition of numbers to 10, number bonds with 3 parts, and doubles.

Big Picture

 Our topic this term is 'Tails and Trotters'. We have continued to focused on farms including who lives and work on a farm and what animals give us that live on a farm. We have also been practicing our dance which the children then performed on Thursday to a very large audience for the first time, they were very brave and did fantastic - Well done Foundation!

WELL DONE FOUNDATION! Fantastic Dancing
