Spring 1 - Come Fly With Me

Monday 26th - Friday 30th January 

Phonics

This week we introduced the Set 2 sounds ow, oo, oo & air. We also recapped the sounds ee, ay & igh. You can help at home by practising these sounds with your child through simple games, reading together, or spotting the sounds in everyday words.

Reading

This week as part of looking at the country India we have been reading Dipal’s Diwali.

The story introduces the children to Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and follows Dipal and his family as they prepare for the celebration. Through the book, the children learn about different traditions and develop an understanding of other cultures.

Writing 

This week in writing, we have been writing all about India and the things we would see at a Diwali celebrations. We wrote the sentence  “I can see…”. It was wonderful to see their ideas and creativity coming to life!

Maths

This week in Maths, we have been looking at numbers 6, 7, and 8. The children have been counting, comparing, and ordering these numbers, as well as exploring different ways to make them using objects and pictures.

Big Picture

 This week in Big Picture, our explorers traveled to India. We will continue to explore India over the next few weeks.
