• Reading information for parents

Welcome back!

Phonics

We will be continuing with our phonics programme Sounds~Write, introducing more new sounds in the coming weeks. The children will continue to take Phonics books to share at home. These books have been read daily in school and they match the focus sounds that week.

Literacy

Our new focus story this half term is The Journey Home by Emma Levey. We will follow Hattie Peck and her hatchlings on their journey around the world and write our own version of the story at the end of the half term. 

Maths

In Maths we will be developing our understanding of the numbers 1-10. We will be concentrating on their composition and looking at finding 1 more / 1 less without the use of objects or number lines. We will also be exploring time (night and day) and 3 dimensional shapes. 

Below you will find a video explainig the importance of early number sense. Please take a look for an insight into what happens in school as well as ideas of things you could do when using numbers at home.

To link with our Literacy focus, over the coming weeks, we will be exploring the Big Wide World and towards the end of the term we will focus on the signs of Spring.
