Term 2 week 4

EYFS

This week we have continued to look at our ‘Journey’ book. We have used a story S to draw pictures in order to retell the story.

Here is the link to the story below:

Can your child retell the story in order? What happened first? At the start? At the end of the story? Who were the characters?

We have also been busy learn lots of songs for our nativity.

In phonics we have been learning new sounds j (wobble like jelly) v (drive a van) w (out of breath after running a race) x (xray)

This video recaps these sounds

In Maths this week, the children will begin to explore composition by focusing on the preliminary skills: the concept of ‘wholes’ and ‘parts’. At home  you could complete a simple jigsaw puzzles with the children. Have we got all the parts we need to complete the whole puzzle?
