Our magic beans are officially growing out of control! The bean at our curiosity station has grown so large it’s taking over the desk! We have also been observing the other seeds and celebrating as they germinate and head toward the sky!

We have been busy learning all about our 'garden friends'- to see which minibeasts are helping our plants to grow! We have loved to observing our magic beans in their pots; we are thrilled to report that we can already see some roots and shoots beginning to grow!

We are becoming experts at reading and writing our phase 4 words. The children are getting much faster at spotting those adjacent consonants and are beginning to spot them when segmenting and writing.

We are building great confidence with our newest tricky Words. Please keep practising these at home to ensure they are secure! The children have completed their journey stories this week with some amazing and exciting conclusions!

In Maths, we continued to secure our doubles knowledge, and have moved onto sorting numbers into 'even' and 'not even' numbers. We have spent time noticing that our even numbers are made of two equal parts

Home Learning - 1st May

Phonics - Please review all phoneme sounds learnt. Your child needs to know all red and blue sounds taught, including tricky words sent home. Continue to use the homework sheets to practice reading words and new tricky words taught.
