Summer 1, Week 1

Notices:

Welcome back after the Easter break.

Learning:

 This week the children have been revising specific Phase 3 sounds and practicing blending using these sounds. The children have learnt new tricky words- said/so.

The Phonics scheme that we use as a school is Little Wandle. For any additional information please visit the website and find the ‘for parents’ tab: https://www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/resources/for-parents/

In Literacy this week, we have started to look at a new story called ‘The Train Ride’. The children sequenced the story and wrote a sentence to describe what the girl saw in the story. We worked on using finger spaces, capital letters and a full stop in our sentence writing.

In Maths this week, we have been exploring number bonds to 5. The children used counters to explore the different ways to make 5. We showed how to make 5 using a whole-part-part model.  

In Project this week the children have been learning all about ‘Colours’. We listened to the story ‘Mix it up’ by Herve Tullet. The children explored mixing different primary colours to make new colours. We also explored adding in black paint and white paint to colours to change the tone of colours. It was great fun!

Have a lovely weekend,
