In this week's phonics learning some children will be consolidating reading and writing words using letters from set 1. Some children will begin learning vowel digraphs from Letters and Sounds Phase 3 and some children will be consolidating all the Phase 3 vowel digraphs. The children are getting really good at writing the Phase 2 captions that we do in the mornings. They are making amazing progress. We are now doing focused writing activities in our colour groups to support this. Some children are writing Phase 2 captions, some children are beginning to write sentences and some children are making up their own sentences to tell a story.
In maths we are making 10. We are using 10 frames and Numicon to explore finding pairs of numbers that make 10, e.g. 2 and 8, 3 and 7, etc. We are also singing lots of songs to support this. The aim is for the children to have rapid recall of these number bonds, but at the moment we are using practical, physical resources so that they understand what these pairs of numbers mean. We are also beginning to record what we find through pictures and number sentences.
In music, we are exploring rhythmic patterns using percussion instruments and body sounds. In topic we are finding out all about Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated and in philosophy we are exploring friendship and sharing, discussing whether we should share everything with our friends.
It's going to be another busy week!
