This term we will be learning all about the UK.
We will explore the different groups we are part of, look at the materials that make up the world around us and learn about famous artists like Kandinsky and Meghan Coyle.
To support your learning at home you can use the curriculum overview which provides more information about each learning area and the key word mat which provides the vocabulary, reading and spelling words we will be working on this half term together. These can both be found in the useful documents section to download.
1. Reading – read at least 3 times a week and read whenever you can – cereal boxes, bus stops, adverts, shop windows! Read, read, read and listen to the adults model reading in your life.
2. Learn your phonics sound by practising what you learn in class each week at home.
3. Counting – can you count to 100? How about counting backwards? Can you write your numbers clearly? If so, why not learn your number bonds to 10? Or try learning your 2, 5 or 10 times tables.
