Learning objectives: Week beginning 3rd May

Literacy: Be retelling the story 'The big hungry bear' using pictures and captions. I hope the children will be able to draw on language pattern in the story. They will then be looking at the strawberry in the story and thinking of as many ways to describe it, before tasting.

Maths: Going on a shape hunt around the outdoor area for various shapes which they will then describe and compare. They will be chalking them onto the playground and developing their vocabulary to identify their properties.
