Where we learn and explore the world through play!
Summer 2022
Our Topics are...
The Bog Baby
Summer 1
Plants and Growing
Summer 2
In Literacy We will be reading the story of the 'Bog Baby'. We will learn about animals that live in ponds and around them. The children will use their developing understanding of the sounds they have learnt to write more accurately and explain their thoughts and ideas through exploring our topic.
In Phonics This term the children will learn to read the words with digraphs (two letters that make one sound e.g. ch, sh) and trigraphs (three letters that make one sound e.g. igh, ear). The children will also be learning to read phase four words (more complex combinations of the taught sounds) using their phonic knowledge.
In Maths The children will continue to engage with activities that underline the purpose of counting - to find 'how many' objects there are altogether. They will reinforce their understanding of cardinality and they will further practice their 1:1 correspondence skill, by counting numbers at the same time as moving or tagging objects. The children will continue to explore shape, space and measure through carefully planned learning opportunities. The children will also learn to use the language of capacity, length, size and weight when baking and cooking.
