Literacy

In Literacy, we will continue our learning based on the text Blue by Britta Teckentrup. This week, we will further explore the character of Yellow and the friendship qualities she demonstrates towards Blue throughout the story. The children will work collaboratively in groups to discuss Yellow's actions and identify the qualities that make a good friend. They will then use their ideas to describe Yellow's personality and explain how her kindness, support, and friendship helped Blue in the story. |
| Maths |
This week, we will be assessing the children’s learning and understanding of the key skills and concepts that have been taught so far this term. The assessments will help us celebrate the progress the children have made and identify any areas where they may need further support to continue developing their learning. |

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.
