Traditional Tales

Our topic this term is 'Traditional Tales'. 

Each week, we will be learning a new traditional and using this as a basis for learning across the early years curriculum. We will continue to learn new sounds and 'tricky' words in phonics and we will be applying these skills to our writing. Remember to recap the sounds taught at home.

Learning to count to 20 and ordering numbers within this range will continue to be a focus as will finding 1 more and 1 less. Keep up the addition at home as well! Capacity, weight and 2D shapes will also feature heavily in our weekly learning.

For PE this term, we will be gymnasts. Please make sure your child has a PE kit in school.

Homework

Reading - Please read at least 3 times at home each week.  In the reading diary, state the next page to be read so that we can continue your child's reading more effectively at school.

Remember when you have read 50, 100 and 200 times at home you will receive a certificate!

Phonics - Please practise the sounds that are sent home in your Letters and Sounds book. 

 Maths - Mathletics activities or an activity related to the week's learning will be set weekly.  Please complete these to consolidate your child's learning and leave a note in the home learning book so that I can see how your child managed the task.
