SPRING TERM 1 TOPIC: Transport

LITERACY: Book Focus: The Naughty Bus by Jan and Jerry Oke

The children will read this delightful story about a little toy London bus which will rouse their imagination as they explore their own ideas for where the bus could travel.

Phonics: This week the children will learn these Phase 3 sounds: /j/, /v/ and /w/. We will continue to send home a sound sheet each day for each new sound. Please practise letter formation with your child and keep these sheets at home.

MATHS: We will continue to revise number recognition and counting skills(counting forward and back). This week we will introduce the language involved in addition. The children will also learn to find the total number of items in two groups by counting all of them.

TOPIC:  We will introduce our ‘Transport‘ topic and find out what the children already know about this topic and discuss what they would like to know more about. We will talk about journeys the children have been on before and how they have travelled. [/dropshadowbox]
