This week’s learning
LITERACY
Book Focus: Aliens love underpants by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort
The children will love this charming and funny story about alien creatures from another planet who are fascinated by human underpants! This delightful story will stimulate their imagination and create a stimulus for our learning this week.
Phonics: This week the children will begin to learn to blend the sounds they have learnt thus far. This will support them to be able to decode simple consonant-vowel-consonant (cvc) words such as m-a-t, p-o-t, t-u-g, g-e-t, p-i-n.
We will continue to teach the remaining letter sounds in the new term when the children are more confident with speedy recognition of the sounds they have learnt thus far: /s/a/t/p/i/n/m/d/g/c/k/u/e/r/h/b/f/l
The children have also learnt that /ck/ff/ll/ss are digraphs (two letters which make one sound)
Your child will bring home a list of words to decode. Please keep these at home and practise daily decoding.
MATHS:
- To begin to use the vocabulary involved in adding
- To find the total number of items in two groups by counting all of them.
- To count on to find the answer when adding two single-digit numbers using quantities and objects
- To say the number that is one more than a given number.

Day and night
We have been learning about day and night and what happens at these times of the day. We know that many animals can be active at night. Can you draw or find pictures of 3 different animals that are active at night and use your phonics knowledge to label your pictures
READING BOOKS
Please read with your child and write a comment in the yellow reading diary. Please keep both reading books and yellow diary in your child’s bookbag after each reading.
