This week children have been reading longer words using phase 2 and 3 phoneme sounds and continue to practice writing simple sentences and have been learning how to label pictures.

In Maths we have been exploring composition of 7 and how we can represent this with cubes and also our fingers.

In theme we have continued learning about Minibeasts and the children have enjoyed looking for minibeasts and have been very creative using different cutting and art skills to create fantastic displays. 

Home Learning - 20th March

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

Your child has been sent home all the tricky words learnt. Please continue to learn these words, your child needs to know all of these by the end of Reception. 

Maths - Please find a maths learning worksheet for your child to complete. Children need to look at the washing line images and work out which numbers make 7 altogether. The children have been practising how to subitise each number and then use their fingers to represent 7 as "5 and 2" We have been practising the stem sentence, "7 is made of 5 and 2"

Maths - Please find a maths learning worksheet for your child to complete. They need to work out the missing number of legs. Start by asking your child to hold up 8 fingers as '5 and 3'. Then get them to put the fingers down for each leg that they can count and the fingers left will be the amount of legs to draw. Or you can also do this by counting on, ask your child to say the number of legs out loud and then use objects to count out until you reach the number 8. The amount of objects they have is how many legs they need to draw on.

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