This half term has flown over and we have had lots of fun and learned lots.

In phonics the children have continued to learn their phase 2 and phase 3 sounds, blending sounds to read words and using their increasing phonetic knowledge to spell words.

In Maths we have continued developing our counting, sorting, addition and subtraction skills. We have been recorded amounts using tally marks and numerals. We have been identifying the odd one out and explaining why and have been learning to tell the time to the hour and half past.

In Science we have been learning about growth and lifecycles. We have sequenced the lifecycles of humans, frogs and butterflies.

In PHSE we have been identifying different emotions, demonstrating these emotions using our faces and beginning to discuss simple strategies we can use to help.

We have also been demonstrating our turn taking skills.

In PE we have been learning how to play a game of cricket.

In history we have been learning about the Queen and her Platinum Jubilee. Please see our ‘The Platinum Jubilee in Oranges’ for more.

A great half term of fun filled learning.
