In Term 3 we will be recapping our rules and routines as we spend longer periods on the carpet during our phonics and shared reading sessions. Our enquiry will be "What is darkness?" The children will be discussing their different experiences associated with the dark, as well as exploring shadows and nocturnal animals. We will also be going on a 'nighttime' walk around our school and local area.

In Phonics, we will be focusing on a different new digraph each week, allowing us to spend more time focusing on these harder sounds and concepts. We will also be recapping the sounds we have previously covered, as well as developing our writing to begin to write longer phrases and simple sentences. 

In Maths we will continue to build on the children's subitising of numbers up to 10, as well as deepening their understanding of number composition and different representations of number. We will also explore counting from 10-20 and practising this idea it lots of different ways. 

In PE, we are exploring different gross motor skills including climbing, scooting, jumping and some basic sending and receiving skills. These sessions will take place every Thursday so please send your child to school in their PE kit on these days.
