Summer 2 (Homes and Habitats) - 15th-19th June

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 designed and written about our own eco super hero and part of our sustainability week activities. Our work will be published in a class book available to purchase if you would like, please refer to Mrs Strong's emails that were sent out at the beginning of the week.

Reading

This week we have been reading the story of 'Granny Sarah and the Last Red Kite' to help support our understanding of sustainability week and how we can help wildlife.

Maths

We have been focusing on double facts and our knowledge of number bonds up to 10. We are working on speedy recall of these facts using our fingers, or even in our heads!

Big Picture

Our topic this term is 'Homes and Habitats'. We have loved our activities this week for sustainability week and have found out the success story of the red kite. We had a birds of prey workshop where we got a closer look at some birds such as owls and hawks. We know birds of prey eat other animals and can be daytime of night time hunters. We've also learnt about other ways to be sustainable such as looking after bees.
