This week we are going to focus on the book ‘The Tree and The River’ by Aaron Becker in our English and Art and Design work. We will start to make a river scene in art and we will be writing some simple sentences to describe the tree and the river. We will also be retelling the story verbally in our own words and talking about the changes in each part of the book.

This week in Phonics we will be learning about the ‘ay’ digraph, reading the words ‘could’ and ‘should’ and writing the words ‘said’ and ‘go’. In Maths we will be continuing to focus on the numbers zero to ten. This week we will be recognising and reading number words and numerals, counting forwards from any number and finding one more than a given number. We will be using counters and Numicon to support our maths investigations.  

In RE we will be listening to the story of the Lost Son and discussing why Christians believe God is like the forgiving father in the story. In PE we will be learning about different ways to move and will practise catching a ball. In our Computing lesson we will be continuing to learn about the technology around us. In Science we will be describing different everyday materials.
