Our Learning Adventures:

Animal Safari 

We are going to be learning all about Animals and where they live in the world. We will be basing our adventures on Puffin Peter's journey in search for his friend. We will be looking at different around the world and their habitats. 

This half term we will be going for a walk around our local area, looking at the local wildlife. Phunky foods will be joining us to 'taste a rainbow' of foods from Handa's surprise. 

Zoolab will be popping into show us different animals and reptiles and we will be talking about their habitat. 

Drawing Club Texts:

Phonics

In Phonics we are learning phase 2 of Little Wandle Phonics. We now know most of our phase 2 sounds and we are now focusing on reading sentences and spelling CVC words

Tricky Words: I, is, the, full, pull, put, as

Words to read and spell: red, sack, rug, pit, tap, jug, jet, hill, bell, mess, kiss, huff, cliff, 

Please keep practising at home as it will support your child's reading at school. 

Below you will find a copy of our sound mat that we use in our Phonics lessons and during free-flow play. 

Learning Packs

The learning packs have a mix of resources that you can use to support your child with their learning at home. Here are some ideas of how to use your learning packs:

- Recognising numbers 1-10

- Sequencing the numbers (putting them in the right order) 

- Recognise the dice numbers- without counting the spots

- Hide the numbers- hide the numbers around your home and ask the children to find them. 

- Can they count how many cars they see on their way to school?

- Can you count forwards and backward to and from 20. 

- Recognise 2D shapes and fond them in the environment, did you walk past any shapes? Can you see any at home?

-Writing your name at home- starting letters at the right starting point

- Sound talk- get your c-oa-t, brush your t-ee-th, get your sh-oe-s, go to the c-a-r

- Initial sounds of objects (b-banana, c- car)

- Can they find the sound on the sound mat
