This week’s learning

AUTUMN TERM TOPIC: All about me

LITERACY:

Book Focus: Owl Babies by Martin Wadell

The children will enjoy our shared reading of this classic tale about a family of beautiful owls. This week the children will learn to recall and retell the story through actions and by creating a class story map. They will learn to use vocabulary such as ‘First, Then, Next, Last’ or ‘At the end’.

MATHS:

This week’s maths learning will focus on recognising and ordering numbers to 10. They will also learn the names of some 3D shapes and learn to recognise these shapes in the environment.

TOPIC – Knowledge and Understanding of the World:

We will be talking about the four seasons and the changes to the environment as the seasons change. We will handle and explore some of the natural objects which can be found during autumn such as conkers, acorns, dried leaves and twigs.

HOMEWORK:

Can you find and draw pictures of different objects around your home which have a 2D shape eg. square, triangle, rectangle, circle, etc.
