I will begin to understand what is meant by estimating and will be solving problems that involve subtraction.
Reading
I will be using my knowledge of phase 3 digraphs and trigraphs to decode unfamiliar words and will be recognising more words by sight to support my fluency. I will be reading regularly in my reading group each week focusing on decoding, prosody and comprehension.
Personal and Social Development
We will be thinking hard about being patient, having empathy for others, trying our hardest to try new activities, independence and talking about activities that we like the best and why.
Physical Development
Skill focus on throwing and catching.
Our dance this half term will focus on the theme of being on a desert island. We will create movement inspired by building shelters, the sea, hunting for treasure and being on-board a pirate ship. We will be working as a whole class, in pairs and also in small groups.
