In English, we will be reading and sharing lots of new texts, including our focus text Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. We will practise writing simple sentences, remembering to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. We will also write captions for pictures from the book.
 
 In Handwriting, we will be looking at the correct formation of our letters and numbers. We will also be making our hand muscles nice and strong with our fine motor activities.
 

 In Phonics, we will continue to use Little Wandle, as well as having our guided reading sessions. 

 

In Reading, your child will be read with three times a week. They will focus on decoding, prosody and comprehension. Your child's reading book is matched appropriately to their phonics level.  

 

Please aim to read with your child three times a week. This will support fluency, comprehension and expression. Thank you.

Please take a look at the Information for parents from Little Wandle here. 

________________________________

In Maths we will explore numbers up to 5, comparing quantities and developing our understanding of part-part-whole relationships. We will also recognise and explore 2D and 3D shapes, building our early counting, problem-solving and spatial skills through practical activities and exploration.

 

 For this half term, our PE lessons will be on Mondays and Thursdays.

Please make sure your child has their PE kit in school so they can get changed, as this helps to support their independence with dressing.

 

Please see our Autumn Two Curriculum Map which has all the information about what we will be learning this half term. 

  

How you can help: 

Please encourage your child to read their Collins E-book three times a week at home as well as completing their homework.

A log-in and password has been provided for the Collins Hub in the back of your child's reading diary.
