All our beans have finally sprouted! This week have been using our measuring skills to compare and see whose bean has grown the most!

This week we have been continuing to learn about taking care of our environment. We have focused on the importance of keeping the ocean clean and looking after ocean creatures. The children have become anti-pollution heroes, thinking up ways they can help!

We are continuing to read increasingly long phase 4 words and have been practising writing simple sentences in phonics!  The children are getting much faster at spotting adjacent consonants and are beginning to spot them when segmenting and writing. We have been bringing in these skills when writing our new book- All about our amazing bodies!

We are continuing to build confidence with our newest tricky Words. Please keep practising these at home to ensure they are secure!

In Maths, we have been thinking about methods to help us count out larger sets of objects. We have gained confidence with our counting and have become experts with our counting rules. 

Home Learning - 8th May

Phonics - Please review all phoneme sounds learnt. Your child needs to know all red and blue sounds taught, including tricky words sent home. Continue to use the homework sheets to practice reading words and new tricky words taught.

Maths - Please find a maths learning worksheet for your child to complete with your support. Please check their they are able to successfully count groups of objects up to 20. Encourage them to recall the counting rules, and the different methods to support them to count- E.g. move and count, put all items in a line, count in a set direction, remove / cover items that have been counted.

Reading - Please sign your child's reading record each time you hear your child read.

Home Learning - 1st April
