Summer Term 1 - Glorious Gardens

Monday 27th April - Friday 1st May

Phonics

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

1. ea (as in tea)
2. oi (as in spoil)
3. a-e (as in cake)
4. i-e (as in time)

Please practice reading and writing these sounds at home.

Writing 

This week, we have finished writing our books "All About Plants". We wrote sentences about what a plant needs. The children enjoyed reading their book to their friends in Year 2.

Reading

This week we started 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 also created pictures of the flower from the book 'The Tiny Seed' story by Eric Carle. We created our picture by using a similar collage technique to Eric Carle.
