Summer 1 (Glorious Gardens) 18th-22nd May

Phonics

This term we will be working on consolidating our knowledge of the Set 2 sounds (ay, ee, igh, ow, oo, oo, ar, or, ou, ir, air, oy). Some of us will also start learning Set 3 sounds. Please practise these at home with us daily alongside reading.

Writing 

This week, we have finished writing our 'Celebration Picnic Menus'. We are excited to share them with our parents at our Celebration Picnic!

Reading

This week we have been reading the story of 'The Tiny Seed' by Eric Carle. This has helped our understanding of what plants need to grow for our topic 'Glorious Gardens'.

Maths

We have been focusing on sharing and grouping. We have talked about sharing fairly and unfairly and practised doing this. We then focused more on sharing fairly using classroom resources to make sure each person had an equal amount.

Big Picture

Our topic this term is 'Glorious Gardens'. We have been busy getting ready for our celebration picnic and using foods that come from plants to create some delicious picnic snacks! We have made our own shortbread biscuits and also a fruit salad. We learnt how to chop carefully using the bridge cutting technique.
