Our final week term 5 is here. Please don't forget that we have our dressing up day on Wednesday, I hope the children are excited to dress up as their favourite minibeast or plant.
Phonics
The children are not learning any new sounds this term, but will be practising to read words with consonant blends. This week we move onto CCCVCC words, adding -er and -est as a suffix.
The children are continuing to consolidate their learning of 'tricky' words. This week they will consolidate their reading of and learn to write: children, are, my, as, was, so, out, me, little and is.
English and Topic
This week we are looking at the wonderful world of snails, how they move, what they eat and how their bodies are different to other minibeasts.
Maths
This week we continue with working 'beyond 20', before moving onto 'First, Then, Now'. The children will continue to learn to understand the number system, compare different amounts, knowing which is more/less and look at how to represent amounts using a variety of apparatus. We will also look at tangrams, making pictures using shapes.
PE
In PE this week we will begin to use simple hitting skills alongside continuing to practise our under arm throwing and catching.
Music
This week, we will be singing some minibeast songs for out dressing up minibeast/plant day.
RE
This week, continuing with 'Special Places', the children will find out about the Synagogue being a special place for Jews.
PSHE
This Term’s theme is ‘Relationships’, this week the children will be thinking about 'understanding the impact of unkind words'.
