This week

We have been thinking about Italy this week.  The role play area has been a pizza restaurant, we have been doing pizza maths with our adding up and have worked out how to make dough by exploring with flour and water.

We have looked at th and ng in reading and spelling and have been exploring different ways to make 5 in our maths sessions.

We went to the computer room again, and all children are using the mouse to access a range of games now.  The children enjoy the games on phonics play if you want to find it at home:

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/ (you can play many of the games for free or choose to pay for a subscription)

The children are working at the end of Phase 2 and at the start of Phase 3 if you are choosing the levels they need

Next week

We will look at oo and ee and practise writing sentences.  We will be making up stories for the St Johns 500 words competition and in maths we will continue looking at number bonds using 6,7 8 and 9.
