Summer 2 (Homes and Habitats) - 8th-12th 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 begun writing a story describing Mr Hoot from 'Saving Mr Hoot'. Our sentences have included 'Mr Hoot is big' and 'Mr Hoot can see in the dark'.

Reading

This week we have been reading the story of 'Saving Mr Hoot'. We have explored woodland habitats and why the animals that live there are best suited to them.

Maths

We have been focusing on odds and evens. We have found out that some numbers are odd (they don't share equally) and some numbers are even (these numbers can be shared).

Big Picture

Our topic this term is 'Homes and Habitats'. We have learnt that a habitat is a home for an animal. This week our topic has been brought to life by the arrival or our newly hatched chicks. We've loved caring for them and have named them Midnight and Buttercup. We have also been learning about under the sea habitats and how animals like fish and mammals are best adapted to live there.
