We have had a super week reading the book ‘Sharing a Shell’ by Julia Donaldson. They have done some super writing about what makes a good friend and have been working on their rhyming skills by writing their own rhyming strings.
The have also been learning about rock pools and other animal habitats and what the difference is between animal homes and habitats, and created some fabulous rock pools in the craft area using their own choice of resources.
In Maths they have been consolidating their knowledge of number patterns, identifying odd and even numbers as well as doubles.
In phonics they have continued building their confidence with reading longer words and have also learned the tricky words here, were, little and says. They have also completed some phonics assessments so we can continue to work on any gaps from previous phases. Lots of children have found remembering tricky words from Phase 3 difficult so we will continue to work on these when we return after half term.
Please try to read with your child as often as possible and record in their yellow reading record so we can ensure their books are changed regularly.
We hope you have a lovely half term and look forward to seeing the children back on Tuesday 4th June for our final half term.
Miss Jones and Mrs Kenny.
