SUMMER TERM 1 TOPIC: Amazing Animals

THIS WEEK’S LEARNING

LITERACY: Literacy this term will  focus on developing the children’s ability to:

• blend to read with accuracy and fluency.
• demonstrate understanding of what they have read by answering questions about the texts they read
• use their phonic knowledge to spell and write words phonetically
• to begin to spell some high frequency words correctly eg. the, my, he, she, we, said,
• create and write their own ideas as sentences which can be read by themselves and others

Focus Book: The Hungry Caterpillar by  Eric Carle. 

MATHS:

• use their fingers to represent numbers within 5, understanding that the ‘whole’ has not changed
• use their own models and/or drawings to explore and represent the numbers within 5.
• use die frames as a different structure with which to represent and match the same numbers within 5
• use spatial language to describe their arrangements.
• explore ways of representing numbers within 5 using 10-frames
• make links between different representations of numbers within 5.

UW: To develop an understanding of the different animal groups such as mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and insects

RHE: Relationships: To learn how to help others to feel part of a group

Focus Book: The Hungry Caterpillar by  Eric Carle. 

MATHS:

• practise subitising to 6
• visualise, make and describe spatial arrangements of 6
• listen to rhythmic patterns of up to 5 sounds and determine the quantity
• recognise Numberblocks and related doubles patterns on their fingers without counting
• subitise doubles amounts shown on 10-frames

UW: To develop an understanding of the life cycle of caterpillars and observe how they change during this period of metamorphosis.

RHE: Relationships: To learn strategies to identify and solve friendship problems when they occur

PE:  Indoor and Outdoor Team Games: Working co-operatively
