Literacy: Be using our phonics to segment and spell cvc words by choosing an object from the magic box, sounding it out to hear the three sounds, using phonic mats to help them write the sounds to spell the word. They will then be checking each others spelling to encourage peer assessment.

Maths: Be turning over numbers and recognising what they are before running to the beanbag basket to count out that many into their own baskets. They will be then bringing them back to the table and each child will count them for the rest of the group to check.

Topic: Be developing physical skills and movement through the use of the 'sco gym' apparatus and an obstacle course. They will be using a range of skills to balance, climb under and over, through hoops, walk along stilts etc. They will move safely and be encourage to describe the movement they are doing.

What are we doing next week? 14th November

Literacy: Be using our phonics to think about words that begin with a specific sound and identifying initial sounds in words. Children will be practising writing their sounds and then using a cvc template with a picture, sounding out the words and writing them onto the template, checking each others work.

Maths: Be developing understanding and vocab involved in positional language. They will be using dinosaurs as a theme to follow and direct positional language and also having a go at an obstacle course to develop use of positional language.

Topic: Be experimenting with colour mixing and observing the outcome. They will mix combinations of the three primary colours and experiment with different amounts of each colour to see the effect is has. They will also be mixing in black and white to see what happens. It will be led by the children.
