Summer Term 1 - Glorious Gardens
Monday 4th May - Friday 8th May
Phonics
This week we have been working on our Set 3 Sounds. We have introduced the sounds:-
- i-e – smile
- o-e – home
- u-e – cube
- aw – yawn
Please practice reading and writing these sounds at home.
Writing
This week, we have started writing our books "All About Picnics". We thought about what we need to take on a picnic.
Reading
This week we continued to read 'Jack and the Bean Stalk'. The children have enjoyed joining in with the repeated phrases and doing different voices for Jack and the Giant.
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 continued with our topic ‘Glorious Gardens’. We have been watching our beans grow into bean stalks. We have been looking at looking at the parts of the plant we can eat - the roots, stem, leaves and the fruit and the flower. We tasted different types of fruits and decided which ones we liked best.
