Some of the things the children will be learning in the weeks to come...
We will be reading and sequencing simple instructions for ‘How to make a pirate hat.’ We will be writing shopping lists and building sentences using high frequency words.

How to help your child at home...
- Encourage children to read simple instructions and recipes. Talk about the features of this style of writing
- Write a shopping list encouraging the children to write the sounds they hear
- Practise recall of number bonds to 5 and 10
- Visit ‘Bug Club’ to supplement daily reading – if you need a reminder of log on details please let us know
