This term:

In Literacy:

This term we will be doing two blocks of learning based on the books ‘Hungry Hen by Richard Waring’ and ‘Aaarrgghh Spider! By Lydia Monks’ where we will be thinking and talking confidently about responses to a book, asking questions and making connections with their own experiences. We will be exploring the text through collaborative play; role play and storytelling.

In Sounds-Write the children will be continue to consolidate learning to blend, segment and sound manipulate words with the VCC (e.g ant), CVCC (e.g. pond), CCVC (e.g drum), CCVCC (e.g. shrimp) and CCCVC (e.g. strap) format. They will also be consolidating their knowledge of the 2 letter one sound phonemes such as sh, ch, th. The children will really benefit from practising this skill at home by completing the fortnightly homework activity and regular reading. Weekly, the children will be provided with opportunities for free and structured writing.

In Mathematics:

This term we will be learning the composition of the numbers 6-9. We will also be learning all about odd and even numbers, doubling and equal distribution such as sharing.
