This week we will be learning all about Spring. We will be going on a Spring walk to spot the signs of Spring, spotting changes in the weather and in nature. Can your child spot the signs of Spring when you are out and about?
In Maths, the children will continue to practise recalling the composition of numbers as doubles. Then, towards the end of the week, the children will apply their sorting skills to numbers and will investigate ways to sort the Number blocks. They will use their previous experience of investigating doubles to begin to practically explore even and odd numbers. Within the context of building Number blocks characters, they will investigate when a number can be composed of 2 equal parts. It is anticipated that the children will quickly identify that even numbers can be composed as doubles, through their experience of seeing numbers composed of 2 equal parts. Practise recalling the doubles to 5 with your child.
The children have now been in their new groups for a couple of weeks and are moving forward with their learning. They are recapping over sounds already learned and are learning new sounds. Every child now has an online login in their reading diaries. Please make sure you follow the link to Oxford Owl and assist your child to access the learning set for them. Your child will also have either a reading book or Ditty sheets to read alongside this online work. Please try to find time each night to do one of these reading activities and sign the reading diary to say how your child read.
Have a great week
