                      This half term we will continue to learn about Easter. In this unit the children learn about the story of                                       Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. They will be introduced to the “Alleluia” as a special Easter song                            and the symbol of the Easter Candle.         

 

English     

  • This  ½ term our focus stories are some of our favourite traditional tales. These are Jack and the beanstalk, the three little pigs and the Gingerbread man.
  •  Children will have daily access to non-fiction books within the reading area, these books contain information about growing, life cycles, healthy eating and recycling.
  • We will also continue to think carefully about how we hold our pencil for drawing and writing. This term children will be continuing to write CVC words, simple sentences/captions using CVC words and will be writing a list of instructions on how to make a gingerbread man.
  • This term we will continue to use ‘talk for writing’ to perform our story focus ’Jack and the beanstalk’.

Reading Diaries

Reading Diaries: Please listen to your child read at least 3 times a week (school policy) and ensure that you sign their diaries. Diaries will be checked every Friday.  Please practise any sounds and words that are in your child’s purse.
