Lots of great learning this week.
Phonics
We continued to revisit phonics sounds learnt during the spring term. This week we focused on ‘oa’, ‘igh’, ‘ar’, ‘oi’ and ‘oo’/’oo’. You could see how many of these ‘special friends’ they can find in the books you read at home.

Busy Fingers
This week, children made patterns by drawing around shapes, making paper clip chains (one group made one with over 100 paper clips which they then used as a giant skipping rope!) and exporing how many different ways you can make 10 with numicon.

Coins
We also completed some activities that helped us to recognise different coins, including using a snack shop to help us decide which coins we needed to use to purchase different snacks.
