Summer Term 1 - Glorious Gardens

Monday 18th May - Friday 23rd May

Phonics

This week we have been working on our Set 3 Sounds. We have continued to embed the sounds:-

1. aw (as in yawn)
2. are (as in care)
3. ur (as in nurse)
4. er (as in letter)

Please practice reading and writing these sounds at home.

Writing 

This week, we have finished writing our books "All About Picnics". We shared our books at the garden party with our parents. 

Reading

This week in we finished 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. We spent some time looking at sharing and how we can share equally.

Big Picture

This week we finished our topic ‘Glorious Gardens’. The children enjoyed a garden party with parents & carers where they showed off their writing and food preparation skills. The children practiced their chopping skills to make a yummy fruit salad.
