The medium term plan of this half term is linked at the bottom of this page.

Our topic is ‘Marvellous Me and My Community’.

In literacy, we will be using lots of different stories about our community and people who help us as a stimulus for our written pieces. We will be focusing on name writing, hearing and writing initial sounds and even beginning to write some cvc words. 

In phonics, we will be starting learning phase 2 sounds, tricky words and high frequency words. We will be learning to use these sounds to blend and read CVC words.

In maths, we will be learning all about the numbers to 5. We will be learning to recognise them, count up to 5 objects accurately, represent numbers in different ways, subitise to 5 and order numbers to 5.

During the afternoons, we will be learning about the roles in our community. We will also be looking at why we have rules and why we should be respectful, resilient and ready to learn. 

Story time 

Books shared at story time have been carefully selected to ensure our pupils; learn new vocabulary, speak in clear sentences, develop their conversational skills, deepen their understanding and ask and answer questions.
