Welcome to Bees Class!

Mrs Hill and Miss Griffiths are so excited to be working with you during your first year in school!
 

Our topic this term is: Good to be me!

Our Core Text is: Bear Hunt

This half term we will be learning all about what makes us special, why am I special, Are we all the same? We will be reading lots of different stories linked to these topics, including: 

I Like Myself

Only One You

Funny Bones

In Maths we are learning… 

• to consolidate our knowledge of number bonds to 10.
• to use 10's frame and other practical resources to support us with our understanding of number.
• to explore numbers to 20 and beyond. We will be able to identify and represent numbers in various ways.

In Phonics we are learning… 

Within this half term Reading Books will be sent home in a Book Bag when the children are ready.

Children will begin to learn individual sounds from Phase 2 and understand how to recognise, write, pronounce and read these sounds. Children will learn the skill of blending, in order to read simple words.

Sounds we will learn:

s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g.

In Maths we are learning…

Throughout our first half term the children will spend lots of time exploring the composition of numbers to 5. They will learn to link the number symbol with its cardinal number value. Alongside this, children will be taught to count objects, actions and sounds. Children will also begin to learn how numbers up to 5 are formed.

Please don’t forget that children’s book bags need to be in school daily and reading records should be signed to show that children are reading at home 5 times a week.

Bees have PE on Thursdays so please ensure your child has their PE kit in. 

A small stud earring can be worn in line with the uniform policy. Please ensure these are taken out for PE days.

Thank you for all your support!!
