We have had a fantastic week and been really impressed with how well all the children have settled. It feels like they’ve never been away!
Topic
For the rest of this half-term we will be learning about plants and growing. We will be planting herbs and vegetables outside and growing sunflowers inside. We will read and retell the stories- Jack and the Beanstalk and The Tiny Seed.
Phonics
Over the next few weeks we will recap all the sounds from phase 3 of Letters and Sounds.
Set 6: j, v, w, x
Set 7: y, z, zz, qu.
Consonant digraphs: ch, sh, th, ng.
Vowel digraphs and trigraphs: ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er.
Don’t forget there are some really good games to support this learning on Phonicsplay

Maths
We will recap the learning of 6, 7 and 8 next week and begin to talk about addition and subtraction. The children will have opportunities in their play to compare sets of objects saying which set has more and which has fewer.
PE
Next week, we will be having PE on Wednesday and Friday. Please send your child to school in their PE kit and remove earrings.
Keep sending those ‘wow’moments.
