New Half Term

I just thought I'd give you a quick overview of the next week or so (please forgive that I haven't uploaded the last set of sounds yet but I've been having a little rest and a bit of fun- I thought you wouldn't mind!).
In literacy we will be looking at a non-fiction text called "Wheels, Wings and other things" so don't be surprised when the children start pointing out parts of your cars! We will also be starting the first of our formal phonic assessments where we will be asking the children to recognise and record phonemes independently without any help from the picture cues or ourselves - this sounds worse than it is!
In numeracy we are looking at addition and subtraction again and concentrating on how many ways we can make numbers (eg 6 can be made by 6+0, 5+1, 4+2, 3+3, 2+4, 1+5, 0+6).
We will be rounding up our Seaside topic this week until after Easter when we will be looking at the Seaside from a Geography perspective. Our next topic is a science topic called "Sound and Hearing" where we will be looking at how sound travels, different sources of sounds including which are familiar and which we don't recognise and how we can improve our hearing!
