Summer 1 (Glorious Gardens) 4th May-8th 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 started writing our 'Celebration Picnic Menus'. We have designed the front cover and written our names on the front as we are the authors.

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 shape. We have recapped 2D and 3D shapes and know that 2D shapes are flat and 3D shapes are solid. We have explored using shapes for a purpose and have used 2D shapes to make our own shape pictures.

Big Picture

Our topic this term is 'Glorious Gardens'. We have been learning about where our food comes from. We sorted some foods that come from plants and that don't come from plants. We also began learning about foods that come from the roots of plants such as onions, carrots and beetroot.
