Literacy

This term we will be continuing our active literacy approaches.  We will be learning the sounds ee, oo, ck, ai, oy and oa as well as revising all single sounds.  Please continue to practise reading your common words.  Remember short, frequent sessions are better.  You can also use any of the spelling activities to practise writing the common words you are finding tricky.

 

Numeracy

We will be extending our skill to add and subtract numbers within 20.  We will be learning to use different resources to help us, as well as being able to talk through the strategies we have used.  We will continue to explore number sequences and patterns.  Through movement games and using technology we will be learning to use directional and positional language.  We will also be exploring symmetry.
