SUMMER TERM 2 TOPIC: Summer’s Here

Theme: The Farm

LITERACY:

Book Focus: Farmer Duck by Martin Wadell

The children will enjoy this delightfully engaging and slightly quirky tale about a very hardworking duck and an incredibly lazy Farmer. It will contribute well to our discussions this week about working well as a team and how we can help each other to build a stronger class team. Also it will serve as a wonderful introduction to our learning about farm life ahead of our trip to Godstone Farm next week.

Group Phonics: This term we will focus on reading words and sentences containing all the phonemes the children have learnt throughout the year and we will be teaching strategies for instant blending of words and strategies for reading longer multisyllabic words.

UW – Knowledge and Understanding of the World During the next two weeks we will explore the different animals that live on farms. The children will learn to identify similarities and difference between adult and young farm animals and between farm animals and pets or wild animals.

MATHS: This week we focus on patterns and shapes. Naming and talking about properties of shapes and making and explaining patterns of different types.

PE: Athletics – taking on roles of being athletes, spectators, coaches and starters in different athletics events [/dropshadowbox]
