Maths & Numeracy

This term we have been learning about place value – tens and ones, addition and subtraction.  We have been focusing on learning strategies which will help us solve calculations mentally, like learning our number bonds to 10.

 

Literacy

The children have really engaged with the WrapAround Spelling and Phonics programme. They are becoming confident in applying the strategy of stretching and blending to both their reading and writing. Our spelling words and new sounds are added to Google Classroom each week.

In Talk for Writing, we have learned the words and actions for ‘The Sleepy Bumblebee’. We created a class story map and have innovated it by changing the main characters and the setting. The children are looking forward to sharing their new story with the rest of the school at our assembly this week.

We are reading every day, both in groups and also as a whole class for Higher Order Reading.

Health & Wellbeing

The children are really enjoying PE with Miss Masson and have been concentrating on their ball skills, including throwing and catching. In class we are also doing yoga each week as we work our way through the Cosmic Kids Yoga Quest map.
