AUTUMN TERM 2 TOPIC: Light and Dark

TOPIC – Knowledge and Understanding of the World:

This week we will introduce our new topic: Light and Dark, and explore the celebration of Bonfire Night, discussing fireworks and safety in handling these.

LITERACY:

Phonics: This term in Phonics the children will begin learning letter sounds. They will learn to say, recognise and write one new letter sound a day.

This week’s letter-sound focus: /s/, /a/, /t/, /p/ and /i/

The children will bring home a daily sound sheet. Please help them with letter formation and practise ‘stretching’ or ‘bouncing’ the initial sound for each of the pictures on the sheet sent home

MATHS:

This week we will focus on counting reliably with numbers from 11 to 15 using concrete objects and pictorials. The children will learn how to represent these numbers as numerals and to order these numbers along a number line from 0-15. The children will learn to use a range of resources to support their understanding of numbers within 15.

Early Morning Work: the children will continue with their morning routine of practicing letter formation. [/dropshadowbox]
