We have changed the weeks around and so this week we are learning room on the broom and next week will be what the ladybird heard.
We will read the story and look at rhyming words, we will also learn to write a magic spell!
in maths we are still counting in 1's and 2's but beginning to learn 5's. We are adding and starting to take away.
We are still continuing with consolidating phase 2 in phonics and some of the children will move onto phase 3 next week.
In PE we are using the apparatus to move along in different ways and then land safely and finish just like a gymnast.
