Spring 2 (Tails and Trotters) 16th-20th March

Phonics

This term we will be working on consolidating our knowledge of the Set 1 special friend sounds (sh, ch, th, qu, ng, nk, qu) and we will also be starting Set 2 sounds (ay, ee, igh, ow, oo, oo, ar, or, ou, ir, air, oy). Please practise these at home with us daily alongside reading.

Writing 

This week, we have been writing our stories' All About Dogs' with sentences about what they need to be looked after properly. We have written about a dog needing a soft bed.

Reading

This week we have read lots of farm books to help us develop our understanding of life on a farm. We have focused on stories such as 'What the Ladybird Heard'.

Maths

We have been focusing on numbers 9 and 10. We have learnt about composition of numbers to 10, number bonds with 3 parts, and doubles.

Big Picture

 Our topic this term is 'Tails and Trotters'. We have focused on farms this week including who lives and work on a farm and what animals give us that live on a farm. We have learnt about different types of farms such as arable (crops), dairy, mixed and livestock farms. We had a fantastic time on our trip to Waltham Farm on Tuesday and this brought our topic to life!
