Summer Term 1 - Glorious Gardens

Monday 13th April - Friday 17th April

Phonics

This week we have been consolidating our knowledge of the Set 2 Sounds Special friends (ay, ee, igh, ow, oo, oo, ar, or, ou, ir, air, oy). Please practise these at home with us daily alongside reading. Next Week we will be introducing the first few Set 3 Sounds. 

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 The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. We have been learning about the life cycle of a seed, exploring how seeds grow into plants and what they need to survive.

Maths

This week we have started 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 started our topic ‘Glorious Gardens’. We have been learning about how plants grow and have looked at growing a bean seed, helping the children to understand what plants need to grow and how they change over time.
