We are so excited to be back at school! As always, we are continuing to work hard through all learning experiences.

Literacy

We are becoming much more faster at recognising phonemes (such as ai, ie, oa and ee) within tricky words. We are using our knowledge of sounds to help read these tricky words!

To help us learn, we play many different activities by using magnetic letters and roll and read games.

We are reading unseen texts to help us become faster at recognising phoneme words.

Within Writing, we are using our sounds to create sentences. We are trying to remember to use a capital letter at the start of the sentence and a full stop at the end with good finger spaces.

In the sand area, we are creating stories. Every story needs a character therefore we made some in the sand using different materials.

Common words are words which we use in all of our sentences everyday. We practice to read and write them correctly.

Numeracy and Mathematics 

In Maths, we have became so confident in our number bonds, we are now able to use this skill to add sums beyond 20.

We are using different strategies to add three numbers together. As we know our number bonds so well, we are able to complete these sums with effectively.

As number bonds are so important, we play different games and activities to ensure we can make number bonds correctly for a given number.

Numbers to 100 are super tricky! However, with practice we are becoming much more able at being able to sequence numbers to 100.

We have made numbers using blocks!

Outdoor Learning 

We were using different outdoor materials to help complete tricky addition questions.

We created a stable see-saw !

As a team, we worked together to make a den. We used our problem solving to skills to make sure it was stable, had a roof which didn’t fall and ensured it was safe.

We created a ‘water machine’. We worked together to make the water travel across different beams at different speeds.

We also mark make and create stories outdoors!

Gymnastics 

We are completing obstacles courses within Gymnastics. We are using our skills we have learned to complete the course. Such as balancing, completing different travelling movements and doing forward/backward rolls from a bench.

Welcoming a Baby

We have  just completed our topic for Welcoming a Baby! We were learning different traditions which take place in different religions.

Here we were exploring Christianity and explored churches, gowns and baptism within this religion.

We will begin our new topic of ‘Toys’ this week! We planned our topic together as everyone wrote down what we already knew about toys. Then we created questions on what we would like to learn throughout our topic.
