Learning Journey
Our learning journey this half term will be looking at winter and spring, light and dark. We will look at the sun, moon and other light sources, and will explore how shadows are made.
Maths
In maths, we will be continuing to learn in depth about numbers to ten, focussing on numbers 1-5. We will explore ordering numbers, subitising, matching quantities and equal/ unequal groups.
Phonics and English
To develop the children’s use of language we will learn nursery rhymes. This half term we will be learning: Twinkle Twinkle, Jack and Jill and Incy Wincy Spider.
In literacy we will be enjoying the stories: One Snowy Night, Amara and the Bats and Whatever Next. We will begin to write words and short phrases.
In phonics, we will move onto Phase 3 digraphs. The children will also begin to apply their phonics in literacy as well as through reading sessions in school.
The children will continue to bring home a reading for pleasure book as well as a phonics book to practise reading at home and develop their skills.
This half term, we will go on a visit to Darnall library where we will listen to some stories and learn about all the library has to offer.
