In maths we have been consolidating our knowledge of composition to 7 and investigating part-part whole relations. This week our mini project was Stories and Rhymes. We enjoyed reading The Gingerbread man amongst other traditional tales
This week we have focussed on recapping lots of phase 3 sounds and tricky words that the children needed to practise. In maths we were comparing quantities and using the language ‘more than’, ‘less than’ and ‘equal to’ to compare and describe the relationship between numbers up to 8. We read Farmer Duck as part
