Term 6 2024-25 

Phonics

English Lions continue to make progress during our phonic sessions. We are blending sounds into longer words and we are writing sentences. We have done lots of work reading red and green words and saying them in sentences. Our letter formation is getting better and neater each day.

English

Our fiction books: ‘What the Sea Saw’, ‘Commotion in the Ocean’, ’Rainbow fish’ and ‘Come away from the water Shirley’ have been enjoyed. We have also looked at a range of poems and rhymes; we enjoyed creating our acrostic poems.

Maths

During our maths activities, we have explored numbers past 20 using a range of resources. Halving and doubling and sorting odd and even numbers has developed our number knowledge. We have also explored composing and decomposing shapes and labelling different capacities.   

Topic

In the afternoons, we have explored activities related to our ‘On the Beach’ topic. We have learnt about how beaches differ from the past to the present; we have looked at the creatures found in rock pools; and we have explored maps and worked out where the land, oceans, hot places and cold places are. During our continuous provision we have enjoyed playing outside, making sea creatures with different construction materials and especially learning different ball skills. During P.E. we continued to learn how to control a ball effectively with different sides of our feet.
