English

Phonics
This week we will be continuing revision of Phase 4. This week we will be focusing on adding the suffix -est to an adjective and a recap of all known common exception words. 

Handwriting focus: 

Our whole school begins a new handwriting scheme this year: Unlocking Letters and Sounds Handwriting. This term we are looking at number formation mastery. This week we will be starting to recap our letter shapes.  As part of our revision of common exception words, we will also be practicing writing these words informally throughout the week. 

Writing
This week we will continue writing more sentences. We will be focusing on knowing the ingredients of a good quality sentence (subject, verb, express a complete thought).  We will also learn about using a capital letter for proper nouns.

Reading

We will be reading the book Beegu for our structured storytime, learning new vocabulary and how to add expression to our reading aloud. 

We will continue reading one to one with children throughout the week and changing their books. Please ensure books are brought in daily.
