WRITING FOCUS
Understanding
the World
We can now hold a pencil correctly and are beginning
to form letter shapes with correct movement. We will
write labels and captions for our classroom. We will
have a go at writing short phonic sentences! We will
copy over and under writing and use our writing skills
in the restaurant for taking orders. During writing
week, we will write our own counting books!
We will continue to use the
computers in the ICT suite and use
the new iPads to enhance our
learning. We are looking forward to
seeing our bulbs flower and playing
in our new mud kitchen! We will cook
with Ms Falquina (jelly, bread,
chocolate, spaghetti, porridge). We
will build with blocks, look at pictures
and maps of our world. Play in our
restaurant and dress up as book
characters!

about ‘Easter’ We will read
the account of palm Sunday
and act out the story. We will
talk about the happy and
sad parts of the Easter story.

reservation.
Mathematics
Target: I can read, write and order

We will look at numbers in our environment
and learn to recognise and write numbers to
20 and beyond. We will begin to add
numbers together. We will sing number
songs and talk about shape and size using
correct mathematical language. We will
work out which solid shapes roll and/or slide.
We will measure ingredients for cooking and
write recipes for our mud kitchen.
READING FOCUS
We will read a range of books to talk
about information and recall stories. We
will read simple phonic books and
answer comprehension questions about
what we have read. At story time we will
read books about food and cooking.
PE
We will continue to practise dressing
and undressing for PE all by
ourselves. We will take part in games
and use our muscles for balancing
and jumping. We will continue with
our music and movement sessions
