In Maths this week we are counting to 20

Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing (ELG)

Encourage the children to represent numbers to 20 in different ways e.g. 12 sticks, 16 cubes etc. Write a number label for each group of objects

Schoolreaders Storytime – ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ by Michael Rosen

For brave hunters and bear-lovers! Follow and join in the family's excitement as they wade through the grass, splash through the river and squelch through the mud in search of a bear. What a surprise awaits them in the cave on the other side of the dark forest!
Reading Age 6+

In Maths this week we are 'taking away'.

Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing (ELG)

Use a cup and 5 coins – count the coins together and then hide some coins under a cup. How many coins are left. Then lift cup and count back from 5 moving the coins as you count. Extend to 10 if children are ready.

Try a healthy, topic-related snack too:

Week beginning April 20th

Hello everyone! I hope you're all happy and well and have enjoyed your Easter holiday.

Our Summer term begins with a topic of Wriggle and Crawl based around minibeasts. Week 1 is all about spiders!

Key texts are Mrs Honey's Hat by Pam Adams, Aaaarrgghh Spider! by Lydia Monks and The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle. There are versions of these stories on YouTube in the absence of a book.

Our written work this term is becoming more independent and children should be able to write a little more. Writing is based around stories and involves characters, events, settings and retelling stories in our own words. Children should be using their phonics in their writing and spIder and spighda are both good attempts. End of year expectations are for writing to sit on a line and have a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end with finger spaces between words. Letter formation should be correct and ascenders such as t or h should be taller than a and c. Descenders such as g or j should clearly end below the line.

We will be revising RWI Speed Sounds Set 2 and learning the RWI Speed Sounds Set 3. Digraphs are collections of two letters that make one sound. Examples include; rain, book and seed. A split digraph also contains two letters (a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e and u-e) but they are split between a consonant, for example; make, bike and home.

In Mathematics this week our learning objectives are:

Beginning to use mathematical names for ‘solid’ 3D shapes and ‘flat’ 2D shapes, and mathematical terms to describe shapes. Selects a particular named shape (40-60)
Uses familiar objects and common shapes to create and recreate patterns and build models (40-60)

They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them (ELG)
