Our topic is: In the Garden

26.4.24

Summary of Learning

This week, for our new topic ‘In the garden’ we have been working together to tidy and weed our garden and develop our continuous provision in the outdoor classroom. We have continued learning the story ‘Oliver’s Vegetables’ by Vivian French.

We have been writing the beginning of the story in a sentence or two.

In Phonics we have continued revising all the Phase 2 and 3 GPCs that we have learned so far

and have learned to read and write CVCC (consonant, vowel, consonant, consonant) words, such as:

drop, cloak, sleep and green and words ending in -ed which make a /t/ sound, such as: ripped, stacked and swooped.

In Maths we have continued to build numbers beyond ten (14-20), exploring the concept that they are made of one ten and some ones.

We have looked for the patterns in numbers beyond 10 using number squares and number tracks.
