THIS WEEK’S LEARNING

LITERACY:

• Core Text: Marvelous me, Inside and Out by Lisa Bullard
• Other Texts: Colors of Us by Karen Katz and Frida Kahlo and her Animalitos by Monica Brown
• Phonics: To learn a new letter sound each day as follows: /r/ /j/ /v/ /y/ /w/ 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:

• hear and join in with the counting sequence to 5, including using songs and rhymes
• see that counting is useful because it tells us ‘how many’ 
• see that the last number in the count tells us ‘how many altogether’ (cardinality)
• practise counting each object, action or sound once and only once.
• experience counting sounds.
• record the results of their count.

EAD: Artist study of Frida Kahlo. The children will create their own self-portraits, exploring colour mixing to create different shades.

CAL & UW: To explore a map of the world and talk about where we live/where our families  come from/where we were born, and the different languages we speak.

PE: To develop spatial awareness:  Move with confidence, travel in different ways with control and co-ordination.
