What will I learning this week?

This week we will continue with our story 'Farmer Duck' by Martin Waddell; we will also be learning about the celebration of Easter and creating our own Easter pictures to bring home.

Writing
I will listen to the story, 'Farmer Duck'. I will revisit the characters in the story and the different events that happen. I will use story language to retell the story e.g. Once upon a time, after that, next, finally. Then I will design my very own farm and write labels for it! I will be thinking of every sound I can hear in the words I want to write, using my Fred fingers to help me.

Next steps 👣 My teacher will add my next steps after I have completed my writing.

Phonics

I will revisit the ‘special friends’ sounds ‘ee’ and ‘igh’ and the tricky words ‘the’, ‘they’, ‘put’ and ‘was’. I will practise reading and writing these words and sounds and will write words and sentences with my ‘special friends’ in.

Next steps 👣 to revisit all of the sounds and words in my purple phonics book to help me to get super clever at my reading and writing.

Maths

I will have a go at remembering the 3d shapes- cylinder, cuboid, cube, triangular prism, triangle-based pyramid, sphere and cone. I will use these shapes to dip in paint and make repeating patterns, sort them by whether they can roll, see what 2d shapes I can see on them and play 3d shape bingo.

Next steps 👣 to go on a 3d shape hunt when I am out for a walk.

Reading

I will read to my teacher; please check in my white reading record.

Understanding the World
I will be learning about the lifecycle of a Butterfly this week, I will also learn a song that will help me to remember each stage of the lifecycle. 🐛

Physical Development
I will be playing games outside with my friends. I will be following instructions and moving my body in different ways. 🏃🏼‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Expressive Arts and Design
I will find out about the celebration of Easter and will create my own Easter design to bring home for my family. I will discuss how I celebrate different events at home with my family and how this might be different to the way that other families celebrate. I will be encouraged to use my own ideas and imagination to create my picture and will be using a variety of resources. 🐥

I am going to have lots of fun with my friends and teachers this week. 🥰
