English
In English our main text will be, Grandad's Island by Benji Davies. You can listen to the story here.
We will be working on our sentences, making sure we have put capital letters and full stops in them. We will also be using exclamation marks and question marks. We will be checking for finger spaces and correctly formed letters. As well as this, we will be adding adjectives to our sentences to make them more interesting and using and to make our sentences longer. We will also be using our knowledge of phonics to help with spellings and spelling common words independently.
Maths
In Maths we will be l using different resources to help us with addition and subtraction calculations. Will be exploring number bonds within 10 and leaning about fact families and balanced equations. We will be working on numbers to 20 and learning about tens and ones in place value.
