Week Beg: 6th December.

EYFS

This week we are enjoying performing ‘Donkey for sale’ to our parents. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

In phonics we have been reinforcing all previous sounds taught and sight words.

This is a game you can play at home to practise blending sounds together:

In Maths this week,  the children will revisit the concept of 1:1 correspondence by making sure that they match collections of objects to their representations. They will develop their understanding of the concept of cardinality – that the last number in the count tells us ‘how many’ things there are altogether – and begin to apply this concept to count more abstract things, such as claps and jumps. The children will also begin to explore verbal counting to larger numbers. Counting together to numbers larger than 20 will begin to expose the pattern of number names beyond the tricky ‘teen’ numbers.

Singing counting rhymes will give them opportunities to hear, join in with and develop their knowledge of the counting sequence.

We have also been busy creating Christmas crafts that we look forward to sharing with you soon.

Year 1

This week we are enjoying performing ‘Donkey for sale’ to our parents. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

In Phonics we have been recapping all phase 5 sounds. We have also been reading and spelling of sight words Mr, Mrs, people, their, your, here.

Can you create post it notes with these sight words on for children to find in the house e.g. can you jump to the word ‘people’ run to the word ‘Mr’.

In Maths we have been using our coin knowledge to create amounts e.g. what coins do I need an item that costs 6p?

We have also been identifying notes we use £5, £10, £20, £50 and comparing them e.g. Would you rather have 3 £5 notes or 2 £10 notes?

Here is a great game to practice money skills:
