This week in Nursery, we shall continue our story topic of the Three Bears. During our group times the children will be sampling porridge and voting whether they like it or not.

We shall be recapping on numbers and quantity to three, for that extra challenge number and quantity to 10. If you have any questions please see one of the Early Years Team.

RECEPTION

In Reception this week, the children are going to be sharing the story of Superworm and having a go at creating their own potions to stop Wizard Lizard! They are also going to be thinking about how to describe their favourite minibeast without naming it and using these clues to create a guessing game. In Maths, the children will be learning the number bonds of 5 by investigating what two parts can be put together to make 5.

YEAR 1

In English, we are going to look at a new class book and use our predictions what this book might be about. We are going to use main clauses punctuated correctly with capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. We will be planning the beginning, middle and end part of a recount in order to gather interesting vocabulary for our writing on Friday.

In Maths, we are going to look at the symbol ‘-‘ and what it means in a number sentence. We are going to use different strategies to solve subtraction number sentences. Towards the end of the week, we will be solving a mixture of addition and subtraction problems using the most effective method.

Thank you, The Year 1 Team
