Spring Week 10 (10th-14th March) - Animal Crackers

Phonics

All groups are continuing to learn and embed either set 1 or set 2 sounds. Please read daily and record this in your child's reading record.

Reading

This week we have focussed on the story 'Cave Baby’ by Julia Donaldson. We love the rhyming words in the story and have been trying to spot these and say them aloud as we read.

Writing 

This week, we have finished our book all about a pet. Next week, we will out our finished books in the outdoor classroom for the rest of the school to enjoy.

Maths

This week, we have focussed on numbers to 10. We have explored finding one more and one less using objects and drawings. We have also explored the composition of numbers and how they are made of different parts. 

Big Picture

This week we have found out about the life cycle of a dog, from newborn with closed eyes, through to a puppy, an adult and then a mother dog who had puppies. We talked about how we have changed in our lives and how we will continue to change. We also explored the life cycle of a frog from tadpole to froglet and finally, to a frog. We ended our learning this week by making dog biscuits which we thoroughly enjoyed.
