Phonics

(Reception) We will continue to do daily phonics using our school scheme Read Write Inc and will continue to work in their reading progress groups.

(Pre-school) Children will begin to listen out for different sounds in the environment and begin to practise oral blending and segmenting sounds.

READING BOOKS: All children will continue to bring home a sharing book. Please continue to make a comment in their yellow reading records.

Reception children will continue to bring home a sound blending/story book to practise at home. Please practise at least 3 times a week to improve their reading fluency.

Literacy

(Talk for Writing)

All children will join in with our daily literacy session. Our talk for writing text for this term is ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’.

Maths

Daily opportunities will be planned through continuous provision and daily routines for all children.

(Reception) We will continue to deepen our understanding of numbers to 10 including the composition of each number and use subitising (recognise quantities without counting) while also exploring shape, space and measure.

Understanding    the World

Our topic this term is Polar Regions and we will explore lots of amazing adventures through storytelling, investigations and through all the different areas of provisions both indoor and outdoor. We will continue to explore seasonal changes and look at contrasting environments between the polar regions and their habitats in comparison to the UK.
