This Week 

Next half term

Phonics/
writing
This week we learned the letter sounds ‘Bb and Dd’ and focused on letter formation. Often children confused the letter b and the letter d together. To provide extra support we specifically focused on these two letters during our writing lesson.
Next week we will continue blending 3 letter sound words (CVC) and focus on the letter sound ‘Ll’ and ‘Rr’.
Math
This week, we learned about length and height using the words ‘long and short’ ‘tall and short’; then to compare objects and each other’s height we focused on the words: shorter or longer, taller or shorter.
Next week, we will be working on one to one correspondence by playing various games estimating amounts of objects and matching each amount to the correct numbers  from 1-10.
PSED
This week we were introduced to a new Art skill that can be quiet challenging for young children. We will learn how to ‘weave’ using various materials and techniques.  Weaving helps developing fine motor skills, eye and hand coordination, hand grip, physical expansion of spatial concept of up and over and help children finding a dominant hand.
Next week, we will be talking about line drawing. Each lesson will have a focus on a type of line
lesson 1: horizon and vertical line
lesson 2: spiral
lesson 3: curls
lesson 4: zigzag
