This week the children have continued to enjoy the lovely weather in our outside area. In phonics the children are in their third week of learning new phonemes and are beginning to use these to orally blend. They have started Little Wandle handwriting in the afternoons and have been practising how to hold their pencil correctly when making different patterns.

Phonics - Please find this week Phonics learning in your child's book bag on Friday. Practice the phoneme sounds learnt as children need to recall all sounds learnt automatically by sight. Please also practise grapheme tracing with their finger and oral blending. Any questions please see your child's teacher. 

If you wish to purchase a set of flashcards for use at home then these are available on Amazon.

Maths - This week we have been learning the rules of counting such as touching one object at a time and the last number we say tells us 'how many altogether'. Please find a range of opportunities for your child to count different objects around the house and while outside on walks.

Ash and Beech have had a great week! We have continued to settle into our school routines and environment, remembering to 'choose it, use it and put it away'.

They have continued with phonics lessons and maths lessons which they have enjoyed. We have been thinking about what makes us unique- noticing our features and how they are similar and different to peers. They have had a great time making our self portraits!

Maths - We have been continuing to subitise numbers to 3. Please support your child in subitising groups of 1, 2, and 3 hiding within larger groups in the environment- e.g. any groups of 3 they can see in peas on their plate / flowers in the garden.

If you are unsure what subitising is then please find a parent article below.
