Spring 2 (Tails and Trotters) 9th-13th 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.

Reading

This week we have focused stories about recycling such as 'someone crunched Colin' to support our STEM day activities.

Maths

We have been focusing on numbers 9 and 10. We have focused on finding 1 more and 1 less confidently and representing this with classroom resources. We have also continued practising our number bond knowledge up to 10.

Big Picture

 Our topic this term is 'Tails and Trotters'. We have continued finding out about life cycles and focused on the life cycle of a butterfly. In addition to this we have had our STEM day. We found out that STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and maths. Our theme has been 'From Waste to Wow!' and we learnt about reducing, reusing and recycling things. We made our own sock puppets from materials we wanted to recycle.
