Literacy
This week we are reading the story ‘Rosie’s Walk’ by Pat Hutchins. The children will learn to retell the story using a story map. As their phonics knowledge increases we will be encouraging them to write labels and captions for their drawings.
Phonics
We have completed Phase 2 of ‘Letters and Sounds’ and will spend this week consolidating and reviewing this learning. The phonemes we have learnt so far are:
set 1: s a t p
set 2: i n m d
set 3: g o c k ck
set 4: e u r h
set 5: f ff b bb l ss
If you have any questions please email me moortowneyfs@spherefederation.org
Don’t forget there are some really good games on Phonicsplay

Here is a guide for helping you to say the sounds correctly.
Maths
We are continuing to learn all about the number 4 and will learn that 4 is a square number.
Using the book ‘Rosie’s Walk’ the children will make an obstacle course and describe where they are using positional language.
We’ve just signed up to Numbots. This is a great app and website for practising counting and addition and subtraction facts. Your child can use it at home too – they will be given their login details this week.
