English
In English, our Literacy Counts unit is 'Little Red' by Bethan Woollvin. In this unit we will be writing a traditional tale and instructions for capturing a wolf.
Reading
This half term your child will be given their first reading book and diary. Please read your child's reading book with them every day for 10 minutes. A little often has a huge impact on children at this age. Children need to have their reading books and diaries in their bags everyday, so they can be ready to be read with. We change children's reading books every Friday.
Maths
Our maths work this term will follow the First4Maths scheme of learning. In number, we will be counting beyond 10 and exploring the pattern in ones, looking at number bonds to 10 and odd and even numbers. In 'Measurement, Shapes and Spatial Thinking', we will be comparing and ordering mass and looking at the properties of 3D shapes.
PE
This half term, PE will be on Monday and Tuesday. Please make sure your child comes into school wearing their PE kit on these days.
