Craft Activity:

We'll be adding more detail to the seaside pictures that we created last week using a variety of materials and techniques learnt throughout the year.

Maths:

We'll be playing a variety of Maths games practising our counting and number skills.  

Phonics:

This week we are continuing to think about Summer.

"I wonder how a rock pool is made?" "I wonder what we might find in a rock pool?"

Craft Activity:

We'll be making a 3D model of something you might find in a rock pool, for example a starfish, a crab, an anemone, seaweed, a fish, etc using various recycled items, such as boxes, tubes, bottles, yoghurt pots.

Maths:

Number:

We will be counting objects in a rock pool and finding the numeral to match the quantity.

We'll also be finding one more/two more and one less/two less than a given number of objects. We'll then try and work out the total number of objects in two groups. 

Phonics:

This week we are celebrating the people in our family.

Craft Activity:

We are making our Dads a Father's Day card. We'll be cutting out a 'tie' shape, decorating with glitter and then sticking onto a card in the shape of a 'shirt'. We'll also have a go at writing our name inside.

Maths:

Number:

We will be recognising numerals and completing a 'Colour by Number' Summer picture. 

We'll also look at some pictures of Summer objects and try to say which one shows more and which one shows less.

Aspect 5 - Recognising and writing 'sh'.

Finding things that begin with 'sh'.

This week we are continuing to think about Spring.

Craft Activity:

We'll be making a kite by firstly cutting out a diamond shape. We'll then paint a repeating pattern on it and attach a ribbon to the bottom.

Maths:

Number:

We will be pegging items of clothing on a washing line and counting how many there are. We'll then try to work out how many items are on the line if we have one more or one less. 

We'll also try to work out which numbers are missing from a sequence of numbers from 1 to 10.

Phonics:

Letters and Sounds Phase One:

Aspect 5 - Alliteration:-

Click here to learn all about alliteration with Maddison and Felix.

Aspect 5 - Alliteration:-

Recap recognition of sounds (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, e, u, r, h, b, f, l).

Aspect 5 - Alliteration:-

Recognising and writing the letter 'z'.

Finding things that begin with the letter sound 'z'.

This week we are continuing to think about Spring.

Craft Activity:

We'll be cutting out a butterfly shape and painting a pattern on one side of the paper. We'll then fold the paper over and press it down to make a symmetrical pattern on both sides. 

Maths:

Shape:

We will be making symmetrical patterns using different resources and equipment, for example Numicon.

We'll then try to identify different patterns that we can see around us, for example spots, stripes, zig zags, etc.

Phonics:

Letters and Sounds Phase One:

Aspect 3 - Body Percussion:-

Copy a body sound eg. clap, click, stamp.

Aspect 5 - Recap recognition of sounds (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, e, u, r, h, b, f, l).

Aspect 5 - Recognising and writing the letter 'w'.

Finding things that begin with the letter sound 'w'.

This week we are continuing to think about Spring.

Craft Activity:

We'll be using our fingers to print a picture of a baby animal, for example a lamb, a chick, a piglet, choosing the appropriate colour paint. 

Maths:

Shape:

We will be making a repeating pattern using 2D shapes (eg. circle, square, circle, square).

We'll then try to spot a deliberate mistake in the teacher's pattern and see if we can correct it.

Phonics:

Letters and Sounds Phase One: Aspect 1 - Environmental Sounds:- 

Go on a listening walk, what sounds can you hear? 

Letters and Sounds Phase Two - recap recognition of sounds (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, e, u, r, h, b, f, l).
