LITERACY:

Book Focus: Mr Gumpy’s Outing by John Burningham

The children will enjoy this story about a very noisy boat trip with the main character Mr Gumpy. This week we focus on developing the language to sequence time by retelling the story using story maps and actions.

GROUP PHONICS: Group Phonics will continue this week with each group focusing on reviewing the sounds learnt and decoding new words as well learning how to spell and write these words.

KEY WORD LISTS: Please only send in word lists if your child is ready to be tested. Please note that there isn’t any rush for your child to race through the lists. It is more important that they have secure recognition of these words before moving onto the next list.

MATHS: This term we focus on securing number skills within 0-10. This week we will focus on:

• Finding the total number of items in two groups by counting all of them. • Saying the number that is one more than a given number.

• Finding one more or one less from a group of up to ten objects.

• In practical activities and discussion, use the vocabulary involved in adding and subtracting.

• Begin to represent a number story using numerals and symbols for addition and subtraction [/dropshadowbox]
