AUTUMN 2 TOPIC: Light and Dark

THIS WEEK’S LEARNING

LITERACY:

• Core Text: It was a cold dark night by Tim Hopgood
• Phonics: To learn a new letter sound each day as follows: /z/ /x/  Please check your child’s bookbag each day for new letter formation practise sheet. Please check Google Classroom for  how to hand in completed homework.

MATHS:

Mastering Number: This week the children will:

• explore how numbers can be composed of ones and, from this, begin to investigate the composition of 3 and 4. Composing and de-composing numbers involves children investigating part–whole relations, e.g. seeing that 3 can be composed of 1 and 2.
• learn from practical experience that a ‘whole’ is made up of smaller parts and is, therefore, bigger than its parts

EAD: Creating patterns using a range of materials

CAL & UW: To  talk about the significance of Diwali and Guy Fawkes celebrations

RHE: To understand the importance of safety when using/near fireworks
