Phonics:
In Phonics we have learnt Phase 3 sounds- and are currently recapping the digraphs (two letters that make one sound).
Please use your sound mats to also practice these at home.
Below are some videos for the children to enjoy at home to reinforce these sounds.

Next week we will move onto Phase 4 phonics.
Maths:
This week we will be learning about bar models and adding using these. Giving the children concrete objects to add with will really help their understanding.
Next week we will be recapping subtraction.
Drawing club:
This week we are looking at Where The Wild Things Are, this is a book and our key focus (code) is using tricky word they. On Monday we will be exploring the wild thing characters; on Tuesday we will be looking at the setting; for the rest of the week we will be looking at the adventures.
Next week will be looking at Rosie's walk book focusing on using finger spaces.
End of year expectations to practice at home:
Please keep practicing writing your full names and your number bonds to 5 as these need to be automatically recited.
