What a week! We continued with our phase 4 words and tricky words were, here, little and says. In maths we consolidated our understanding of 5 and practised recalling parts of 5 when 1 part is not visible. We also built of previous learning of the composition of 6 and 7. We grouped animals based

This week we continued with phase phase words and tricky words, said, some, come and do. In maths we used the children’s developing knowledge of patterns and doubles to support their subitising skills and develop their abstract understanding of number. In other areas we looked at weather, the environment and living things around the world
This week we moved onto phase 4 in Phonics which included phase 4 tricky words so, like, have and said. In maths we focussed on the purpose of counting and revisited the last number telling us how many altogether. The children have also been given the opportunity to practise the key differences in number names
This week we moved onto words ending with -es sounding like -iz, -s sounding like -z, longer words, -s that sounds like -s and tricky words in Phonics. In maths we recapped on comparison with a focus on differences and similarities in the quantity without being diverted by colour shape or size. We read Jack
We worked on longer words, words ending with -ing, compound words and tricky words in Phonics. In maths we focussed on composition to 5, with automatic recall of numbers to 5 and deepening their understanding of a whole being made of smaller parts through practical experiences. We started our mini topic Signs of Spring where
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
