Summer 1 (Glorious Gardens) 11th May-15th 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 written 2 things we will pack so far including a sandwich and a cool drink.

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 getting ready for our celebration picnic for next week by tasting different fruits and deciding what we would like to put in our fruit salad. We also discussed our current King Charles as he is often referred to as the 'green fingered' king because of his love for gardening.
