We have continued to work on phase 3 sounds and tricky words this week. Maths has consisted of looking over increasingly complex arrangements from dots in a line to dots on a die frame and seeing the sub-groups within the larger groups and matching quantity to numeral. We read Jasper’s Beanstalk, planted sunflower seeds and

It has been a SUPER week! We have covered more phase 3, longer words and tricky words. In maths we have focussed on composition, grouping numbers and objects according to different attributes and beginning to think about even and odd numbers. The children has been very enthusiastic as we explored Supertato as part of our
What a busy week! We have been working hard on our phase 3 sounds and our writing stamina. In maths we have been focussing on composition, specifically doubles when tow equal parts combine to make a whole. In other areas of learning we read The Enormous Turnip, retold the story sing our writing skills and
In Phonics we have continued to practise sounds from phase 3 and tricky words that the children find difficult. 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
This week we covered longer word in Phonics and in maths we focussed on counting and the value of 1 more than. In our topic we were still enjoying dinosaurs and fossils by looking at real fossils, found fossils in the sand, learnt about Mary Anning. We also made Valentines Day cards, love potions in
We looked at the new sounds -air and -er and read words with double letters such as -bb, -rr and -gg and learnt the new tricky words are, sure and pure as well as recapping on some previous sounds and tricky words. In maths we focussed on comparison work and using the vocabulary quantity, more
This week we continued to learn phase 3 sounds -ur, -ow, -oi and -ear and tricky words my, by and all. In maths we have been exploring ways to represent numbers using the die pattern. We also secured our knowledge of numbers that make 5 and used double dice frames to begin to explore 6
This week we have continued learning our phase 3 phonics sounds oo, oo, ar and or and learnt our new tricky words was, you and they. In maths we thought about the composition of numbers which involved investigating the part-part whole relations and the missing parts. In topic we made observations about objects and artefacts
This week we started learning the new sounds -ai, -ee, -igh and -oa and tricky words I, the, pull, put and full from phase 3. In maths we worked on the purpose of counting and ordering quantities using representations of quantity along side numbers. As a part of our topic ‘Long Ago’ we have been
