Week beg: 4th July

We were very excited this week to see our butterflies come out of their cocoons and release them into the wild.

As Scientist we have been finding out what animals need to survive. This is a video we watched and discussed.

EYFS

In Phonics we have been reading and writing sentence containing cvcc and cvccc words. Can your child read and write the following sentence at home:
The frog is next to the pond.

In Maths we have been deepening the children’s developing automaticity with some number facts. They have had repeated practice of exploring the ‘numbers within’ the numbers to 10.
• knowing that whole amounts can be split into parts
• knowing that parts can be combined to make whole amounts, and that the whole is larger than each of its parts
• knowing the ‘numbers within’ 3 (i.e. that 3 is composed of 2 and 1)
• knowing the different ‘numbers within’ 4 and 5, and naming the parts that make the whole number (e.g. that 5 is composed of 4 and 1, and 3 and 2)
• when shown a quantity to 5, saying how many are subsequently hidden under a cloth or bowl
• knowing the different ‘numbers within’ 10, and naming the parts that make the whole number, e.g. that 10 is composed of 5 and 5, or 6 and 4
