Hello everyone! Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Phonics
Some children are working on reading and writing words with 3 or 4 phonemes. Some children are beginning to read and write captions and simple sentences. Some children will be learning some of the vowel diagraphs, e.g. ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi & ear from phase 3 Letters and Sounds.
Maths
In maths this week we will be learning to subitize. This is the abilitiy to 'see' a small amount of objects and know how many there are without counting. We will look at standard patterns, e.g. dots on dice or dominoes, and we will also be looking at irregular patterns too. I have attached a few useful links that will explain subitizing in more depth for you to have a look at. I hope you find them useful.

In music we will be learning winter songs. We will be practising keeping a steady pulse and we will be changing sounds by making them louder and quieter.
our 'topic' at the moment is Winter and we will be developing this by roleplaying being Arctic explorers. We will be learning about the Arctic, thinking about what we would need to take with us and what we might see.
Finally in philosophy we will be discussing whether it is ok to waste water.
We have a busy week planned! See you tomorrow.
