Literacy
|
In Literacy, we will continue exploring the text Blue by Britta Teckentrup. This week, the children will focus on the character Yellow and the positive friendship qualities she demonstrates towards Blue throughout the story. We will introduce adjectives and learn how they help us to describe people, places, and things. Working collaboratively in groups, the children will generate a range of adjectives to describe Yellow before using this vocabulary to write their own descriptive sentences about her character. |
| Maths |
This week in maths we will be looking at numbers and that they can represent how many objects are in a set; for small sets we can recognise the number of objects (subitise) instead of counting them. We will also look at ordinal numbers and that they indicate a single item or event, rather than quantity. |

Please note this is a basic overview of the planning for this week. It is impossible to cover in this outline all the learning that takes place during a week! We also believe in listening to your children and responding to their interests and ideas therefore all our planning is flexible. Please note some of the learning will take place across more than one week and during some weeks the learning focus may not cover all curriculum areas.
