Friday 8th December WEDNESDAY WORD – HOPE THIS WEEK – During RE we have listened to the Nativity story and have found out about the first Christmas. Within Literacy, we listened to a story called Santa’s Presents and we have been looking at words to describe the presents Santa brought. The children have also written their Christmas List. In Maths, we started our new topic on Subtraction. We have learned new vocabulary related to subtraction – take away, subtract, minus, less, left. During the afternoon, we have been focusing on our Christmas performance. Throughout the week the children have made and written their Christmas cards. Within Phonics we have continued to recap, all previously learned sounds and will be continuing to learn all phase 2 words so that they can read them on sight. Words we focussed on include is, it, in, on, at, as, am, an, and, I, no, go, to, the, into. The children have been working on developing their confidence in using phase 2 sounds when chopping and blending to read words and when segmenting to write words. We have also been reading and writing simple sentences, which include these sounds.
